Abstract
This book is about explaining terrorism in an age of interconnectedness and globalisation. It argues that we cannot truly understand terrorism in the twenty-first century — let alone counter it effectively — unless we also understand the processes of communication that underpin it. In doing so the book challenges the very notion of violent extremism and the state of terrorism research.
