Reseña del libro "Globalisation and the New Terror. The Asia Pacific Dimension (en Inglés)"

This rigorously analytical yet readable book examines trends in new terror - understood here to be the capacity of sub-state actors to secure religious or politically motivated objectives by violent means. The contributors argue that whilst the use of violence to achieve political ends is scarcely original, what distinguishes new terror is its potential for lethality. This, combined with its evolving capacity to draw upon the resources of globalisation, particularly the revolution in communications which has advanced global markets, has also rendered them, and the more developed core states in the international trading order, increasingly vulnerable to asymmetric threats.

The book's objectives are to:

examine the character of new terror and its ambivalent relationship to the evolving cybernetic order made possible by technology and globalisationidentify emerging trends and threats in terrorism including cyber-terrorism, eco-terrorism, bombings and CBR materialconsider the implications of these characteristics for the Asia Pacific region.

This careful examination of the key paradox facing the modern condition, namely that the freedoms of communication themselves facilitate terror cells aimed at unravelling the prevailing order, will be of great interest to academics and researchers of contemporary politics, international relations, business, and Asian studies. The lay reader will also find the book accessible.
