PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITIONGlobalization and Terrorism is a difficult book, and a challenging and important one. It takes categories we are comfortable with and shows us their weaknesses and limitations, as well as the unexpected links between them: it provides a rich and reflective contribution to our understanding of both.--Rashid Khalidi

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITIONTo connect globalization and terrorism so convincingly and imaginatively gives this book its originality.

Readers will also gain insight into the rise of political violence in the Islamic world and elsewhere. Highly recommended.--Richard Falk, Princeton University
