| Summary |
"This text casts a light on globalization and terrorism as Jamal R. Nassar defines these twin concepts, placing them in historical as well as political context. In addition to updated case studies of Palestine and Northern Ireland, the author has added cases on the Iran and Afghan wars and applies their lessons to other examples of conflict - including the Congo, Chechnya, and Colombia - in order to internationalize our understanding of how globalization and terrorism operate in a range of situations. Nassar also considers the impact of the current worldwide recession and the potential for future global relations under the Obama administration."--BOOK JACKET |
