Terrorism and Political Violence
Terrorism and Political Violence advances scholarship on a broad range of issues associated with terrorism and political violence, including subjects such as: the political meaning of terrorist activity, violence by rebels and by states, the links between political violence and organized crime, protest, rebellion, revolution, the influence of social networks, and the impact on human rights. The journal draws upon many disciplines and theoretical perspectives as well as comparative approaches to provide some of the most groundbreaking work in a field that has hitherto lacked rigour. Terrorism and Political Violence features symposia and edited volumes to cover an important topic in depth. Subjects have included: terrorism and public policy;
religion and violence; political parties and terrorism;
technology and terrorism; and right-wing terrorism.
The journal is essential reading for all academics, decision-makers, and security specialists concerned with understanding political violence. Journal hosted by Taylor & Francis
