Social Science for Counterterrorism: Putting the Pieces Together - Tapa blanda

This monograph surveys and integrates scholarly social-science literature relevant to counterterrorism. It draws from numerous disciplines and then uses high-level conceptual models to pull the pieces together regarding root causes, individual radicalization, public support, and the ways in which terrorism fades. It identifies points of agreement and disagreement and discusses the consequences of different contexts and perspectives.

"Why does terrorism arise and decline?" "Why do people become terrorists or disengage?" "How do terrorists generate, maintain, or lose public support?" "How do terrorists make decisions?" These are the questions that the authors address.
