"A fascinating new book of interest to all scholars of modern terrorism…Martin Gallagher takes a fresh perspective on terrorism by examining both the challenges of understanding lone wolf actors as well as the connections between these individuals and the causes that motivate them." - Jerry Ratcliffe, Department of Criminal Justice, Temple University
"Martin Gallagher's new book is essential for both policymakers and practitioners alike. His research on lone-wolf terrorism and the crime-terror nexus addresses a gap in the literature, highlighting trends that counterterrorism experts need to pay attention to. Gallagher's unique background positions him to write about the overlap between terrorism and criminality."
- Colin P. Clarke, Ph.D., Director of Research at The Soufan Group and author of After the Caliphate: The Islamic State and the Future Terrorist Diaspora
"A must read for both active law enforcement and terrorism specialists." - Jeffrey Kaplan, Distinguished scholar, Danube Institute, Budapest
Begin your exploration into the new wave of terrorism. Experience the book that challenges conventional wisdom on contemporary terrorism.
Beyond the religious wave...terrorism appears to have moved into new, uncharted waters...and we are now witnessing a new wave of terrorism.
- Several terrorist groups continue to exist even though the conflict they formed to participate in is (essentially) over.
- Individuals within the groups pursue personal gain (utilizing organized crime) through the cachet and fear of their group’s histories.
- They are also collaborating with rogue states on criminal endeavors involving drugs and murder.
This book examines two phenomena often seen as existing on the periphery of terrorism research: lone-wolf terrorists and the relationship between terrorism and organized crime.
The book argues that these phenomena provide new avenues to understanding contemporary terrorism and its potential development. By building on David Rapoport's theory of four waves of modern terrorism, the book identifies shared factors and influences among different terrorist campaigns, leading to a deeper understanding of the evolving nature of terrorism.
Dr. Martin Gallagher challenges the view that contemporary terrorism remains in the grip of the religious wave. Evidence points to the emergence of a new wave or iteration of terrorism, as suggested by the analysis of lone-wolf terrorists and the crime-terror nexus. The book examines the connection between mental health and lone-wolf terrorism, as well as the impact of individuality and identity on understanding terrorist motivations.
By shifting the focus to individual actors rather than their group affiliations, the book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between terrorism and organized crime. By doing this, the book argues that we can identify shared factors and influences among different terrorist campaigns, leading to a deeper understanding of the evolving nature of terrorism.
Dive in now to explore Dr. Martin Gallagher's groundbreaking analysis. 'Terror for Profit' offers a unique lens on the future of global security. Get Your Copy today and stay ahead of the curve.
