| RESEARCH, et al. |
| Religion and Armed Conflict |
| A tangent is that I also presented a paper entitled 'Understanding Religious Violence to End Violence' at the Fifth International Conference of the Ethnic Studies Network (which is part of INCORE) in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland, 27th-30th June 2001 |
| Current research interests remain suicide/martyrdom terrorism, Afghanistan... |
| Understanding Religious Violence; thinking outside the box on terrorism is published by Ashgate (ISBN: 0 7546 3908 8) and is available in most good shops since January 2004, or order direct from the publisher or Amazon. |
| At the 3rd Annual Global Studies Association (GSA) Conference at the University of Surrey Roehampton (21-23 July 2003), I also presented a paper which I called The Logic of Religious Violence |
| The chapters 'The Use of Religious Ideology in Modern Terrorist Recruitment' (2005) and 'Organized Criminal Networks and Terrorism' (2007) both appear in books (The Making of a Terrorist and Countering Terrorism and Insurgency in the 21st Century, respectively) edited by James Forest at the US Military Academy, West Point. Please see www.teachingterror.com for further details. The three-volume trilogy (no, that's not a pleonasm) is one of the most ambitious - and best - recent overviews of these complex phenomena and have contributions from many leading scholars and practitioners. The series is published by Praeger Security. |
