Oxford Handbook of Terrorism, Hardcover by Chenoweth, Erica (EDT); English, Richard (EDT); Gofas, Andreas (EDT); Kalyvas, Stathis N. (EDT), ISBN 0198732910, ISBN-13 9780198732914, Brand New, Free shipping in the US<em>The Oxford Handbook of Terrorism </em>systematically integrates the substantial body of scholarship on terrorism and counterterrorism before and after 9/11. In doing so, it introduces scholars and practitioners to state of the art approaches, methods, and issues in studying and teaching these vital<br>phenomena. This <em> Handbook</em> goes further than most existing collections by giving structure and direction to the fast-growing but somewhat disjointed field of terrorism studies. <br><br>The volume locates terrorism within the wider spectrum of political violence instead of engaging in the widespread tendency towards treating terrorism as an exceptional act. Moreover, the volume makes a case for studying terrorism within its socio-historical context. Finally, the volume addresses<br>the critique that the study of terrorism suffers from lack of theory by reviewing and extending the theoretical insights contributed by several fields - including political science, political economy, history, sociology, anthropology, criminology, law, geography, and psychology. In doing so, the<br>volume showcases the analytical advancements and reflects on the challenges that remain since the emergence of the field in the early 1970s.<br>
