Aims and Scope
Perspectives on Terrorism advances scholarship on a broad range of issues associated with the interdisciplinary study of terrorism and counter-terrorism, including subjects such as:
- historical analysis and evolving trends,
- extremism and radicalisation,
- terrorist group decision-making,
- social networks and technologies,
- terrorists’ interests in CBRN weapons,
- the links between terrorism and organised crime,
- counter-terrorism policies and strategies,
- moral and ethical dimensions of counter-terrorism,
- and forecasting the future of terrorism & counter-terrorism.
Our journal seeks to provide a platform for scholars, whether established or young in their careers, from a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds, as well as practitioners engaged in research and analysis on countering terrorism. The editors invite researchers and readers to:
- use the journal as a forum for debate and commentary on issues related to the above;
- present their perspectives on the prevention of, and response toterrorism and related forms of violent conflict; and
- submit to the journal accounts of evidence-based, empirical scientific research and analyses on terrorism.
Perspectives on Terrorism was established in 2007 by the Terrorism Research Initiative (TRI) under the leadership of Alex P. Schmid.
