Häftad bok med mjuka pärmar, illustrerad med tabeller och diagram i sv/v. En "Elements for Discussion" bok från Finlands utrikesministerium. Ur baksidestexten: "The book makes an important contribution to critical debates revolving around the concepts of development and security. The events of September 11th 2001 and the consequent 'war on terror' mean that all parties involved in discussions about the development must have a better understanding of the field of discourse with regard to security-related matters. This volume explores and illuminates the sources and catalysts of international terrorism and radical violence, and offers appropriate strategic perspectives for North-South cooperation in removing their causes and reducing Islamic violence. The authors argue that economic and political conditions become drivers of terrorism only within the context of a specific struggle, and within a specific structue of communication. The latter observation is especially important because it implies that even though the fight against terrorism can make use of statistically significant associations between certain ecomomic and political conditions one should not take these associations as inevitable. It is equally important to try to change the ideological climate within which certain kinds of grievances are perceived as justifying atrocieties against innocent people." CONTENTS: Summary I. Introduction II. Sources and catalysts of radicalism and terrorism III. How islam-west cooperation can ameliorate and decrease the sources and catalysts of terrorism. // Pärmarna har hanteringsspår.
