Root causes of suicide terrorism

"Bringing together leading scholars in the field of terrorism studies, amongst them Marc Sageman, Leonard Weinberg, and Mia Bloom, this volume sets out to reassess the root causes of suicide terrorism at elite and rank-and-file levels. Challenging the widespread argument that suicide bombing is tightly connected to Islam, the contributors have approached the topic from a socio-cultural perspective and have juxtaposed the role of religion, and specifically Islam, in generating suicide terrorism with power struggles between elites for state control." "This volume will be essential reading for students of terrorism, security studies, political science, and Middle Eastern politics."--BOOK JACKET.
