Review of book titled "Terrorism," edited by Rosemay H.T. O'Kane

2. ¿Es la pobreza la causa del terrorismo? - Pavón-Villamayor, Víctor; Velázquez Roa, Jorge
Este artículo cuestiona la validez de los argumentos que señalan la pobreza como una causa fundamental del terrorismo. La disminución de las desigualdades económicas en el interior de una sociedad puede atenuar el patrón de frecuencia de actividades terroristas, pero no erradicarlas. En sus raíces, el terrorismo es ajeno a la esfera económica y se explica más en función de un conjunto de valores considerados supremos por quienes se abrogan el derecho a explotar la violencia como vía de acción política. El combate a la pobreza y el terrorismo requieren de bases de esfuerzos distintas, y las políticas internacionales que...

4. Disinhibition and terrorism - Cliff, Amanda V.
The problem of understanding how terrorists are psychologically enabled to undertake violence against other human beings is one that has not been adequately examined in past research on terrorism. Indeed, while much has been researched on discovering motivations for such acts, an examination and analysis of the loss of inhibitions as a significant factor in the overall process of becoming a terrorist has been somewhat overlooked. This thesis is an attempt to remedy this shortcoming in the literature, and therefore represents an inquiry into how the process of disinhibition relates to the overall process of terrorism. By examining a number...

5. The Risks of Terrorism - Cagliuso Sr., Nicholas V
Essentially a hardcover reprint of the March/May 2003 "Journal of Risk and Uncertainty" focusing on the risks of terrorism, Viscusi, a Professor of Law and Economics at Harvard Law School, culls 7 works of 14 professors, risk managers and insurers to create this volume. Upon first pass one immediately realizes that the works in Viscusi et al "The Risks of Terrorism" are anchored in the fields of risk, probability, terrorism and insurance, and focus on three primary areas of concern; risk beliefs, insurance market effects and policy responses. While a valuable contribution to these fields, given the sophisticated theoretical tones...

7. How to Deal with Terrorism - Frey, Bruno S.
Bruno Frey argues that terrorism has been fought in the wrong way. Instead of focusing on deterrence and preemptive strikes, we should: (1) Reduce vulnerability by decentralizing society; (2) Strengthen positive incentives to leave the terrorist camp; and (3) Divert media attention from terrorist groups.

8. Terrorismo e contra-terrorismo na América do Sul: as políticas de segurança de Argentina, Colômbia e Peru - Ricardo dos Santos Poletto
Esta dissertação busca entender o fenômeno do terrorismo e contra-terrorismo espacialmente localizado na América do Sul por meio da análise paralela de três países: Argentina, Colômbia e Peru. Por meio do método comparado, a pesquisa se propõe a analisar as variáveis causais que incidem sobre a conformação de políticas contra-terrorismo no pós-Guerra Fria naquela região, tomando por base históricos de violência política, perfil da ameaça terrorista, aparato jurídicoinstitucional, opinião pública e regimes e tratados internacionais. O estudo incorre na utilização de vários conceitos operacionais para apresentar um quadro abrangente e significativo desse espaço regional sobre a temática do terrorismo.

9. A Comparative Perspective of International Cooperation against Terrorism - Sezgin, Erkan
Terrorism is one of the biggest problems of our time with its effects that are no longer constrained within national borders. Although international cooperation is necessary against terrorism, it is not at desired levels due to many reasons. The dissertation offers a new perspective that may possibly make international cooperation possible through measuring opinions of people in charge of fighting terrorism in their countries. There is no universally accepted definition of terrorism, which seems to be the fundamental problem that inhibits international cooperation. Moreover, what is understood of the terrorism concept varies at different levels. The dissertation started examining the...

10. ASSESSING THE COSTS OF TERRORISM - Bruno S. Frey; Simon Luechinger; Alois Stutzer; Bruno S. Frey; Simon Luechinger; Alois Stutzer
Abstract: The trends and consequences of terrorist activities are often captured by counting the number of incidents and casualties. More recently, the effects of terrorist acts on various aspects of the economy have been analyzed. These costs are surveyed and put in perspective. As economic consequences are only a part of the overall costs of terrorism, possible approaches for estimating the utility losses of the people affected are discussed. Results using the life satisfaction approach, in which individual utility is approximated by self-reported subjective well-being, suggest that people’s utility losses may far exceed the purely economic consequences. JEL classification: D74,...

11. Terrorism and Force Majeure in International Contracts - Eriksen, Eivind
[extract] The introduction of terrorism to the doctrine of force majeure raises many questions. There is also a distinct lack of case law concerning terrorism as force majeure. This leaves parties to a contract with little or no guidelines as to whether an act of terrorism constitutes a force majeure event. This paper will raise some of the essential questions, and try to give some clarification as to some of the questions concerning the issue. How should we define terrorism? Should terrorism be seen as an 'act of war'? What should the courts do if the parties have left terrorism...

12. After Bali: The Threat of Terrorism in Southeast Asia - Mukwai, Gideon
Kumar Ramakrishna and See Seng Tan's book, After Bali: The Threat of Terrorism in Southeast Asia, looks at issues of terrorism in Southeast Asia from a distinctly Southeast Asian perspective. The editors have compiled a series of essays to address their central question of whether this region is a terrorist haven and to examine the causes, course, and impact of terrorism there.

13. Counter-terrorism laws threaten fundamental democratic rights - Head, Michael, LL. B.
In a far-reaching move against freedom of speech and political association, the Howard government has introduced a package of so-called counter-terrorism laws handing unprecedented powers to the government and its intelligence and police agencies. On the pretext of protecting the Australian people from terrorist violence in the wake of the September II events in the United States, the government is undennining basic protections against arbitrary detention, political persecution and police frame-up.

16. Australian aid to Bali and counter terrorism agreements - Bliss, Sue, 1944-; Global Education (N.S.W.)
Terrorism is a trans-national phenomenon that threatens peace, security and prosperity. The tragic events of 11 September 2001 and Bali in October 2002 emphasised the importance of a concerted response to terrorism. The Australian aid program is helping to build the capacity of developing countries in the region to respond effectively to potential terrorist threats.

18. Terrorism and national security intelligence laws: assessing Australian reforms - Rose, G. L.; Nestorovska, D.
The Australian legal definition of terrorism and a brief history of terrorism in Australia set the context for national security intelligence laws. Recent national reforms are surveyed and critically examined here. It is concluded that they do not duplicate other powers and are subject to respectable, although not impeccable, safeguards. Some provisions need to be clarified to delimit their scope and others could be hampered in operation by the uncertainty of constitutionally implied limits.

20. A Systems Understanding of Terrorism with Implications for Policy - Mendelson, Miriam E.
Articles and books have been written on the phenomenon of Islamist terrorism. Most of these writings focus on some specific aspect of terrorism or the terrorist perpetrators; terrorist methods, their ideology, education level, societal hardships, etc. Much less exists that examines the terrorist phenomenon as a complex system of interlocking factors and players each with its own separate influences, motivators/precipitators and interdependent relationships. The present study sought to address this gap by looking at terrorism not as a single phenomenon (i.e. the terrorists), but rather as a system composed of terrorist perpetrators, organizers, instigators, sponsors, local societies and observer/targets. It...
