Terrorism Versus Democracy
The Liberal State Response
Paul Wilkinson, University of St. Andrews, UK
Series: Cass Series on Political Violence
’From one of the founding fathers of terrorism
studies, an urgent and necessary reminder of that
which we must hold dear in combating all forms
of terrorism. Paul Wilkinson understands the vital
lessons to be learned from responding to terrorism,
and this updated edition of his landmark book is
absolutely essential reading.’ – John Horgan,
University of St. Andrews, UK
‘This is a well-argued, balanced book on a subject
where sound judgement is often lacking. Professor
Wilkinson, one of the leading authorities on the
subject of terrorism, discusses both the terrorist
threat and the appropriateness of military, legal
and diplomatic responses with clarity and persuasion.
This book is an important addition to the literature
on terrorism and deserves to be widely read.’
– Alex Schmid
This acclaimed study examines both the new terror
networks and those that have been around for decades.
This new edition brings it up-to-date with the dramatic
opening of the twenty-first century, with new chapters
on the 9/11 attacks, the growth of international terrorism,
the Al Qaeda network and the War on Terror.
This text provides us with some much needed criteria for
distinguishing between terrorists and freedom fighters
and an explanation of the uses of terrorism as a political,
social, religious and criminal weapon. Wilkinson also
links the use of terrorism to a wider repertoire of
struggle. He proposes a variety of possible countermeasures
and valuable principles carefully distilled from
the recent past to help design a response that is
compatible with democratic principles, the rule of law
and respect for human rights.
This book is essential reading for undergraduate and
postgraduate students of terrorism studies, political
science and international relations, as well as for policy
makers and journalists.

Textbook
Conflict, Security and
Development
An Introduction
Paul Jackson and Danielle Beswick, both at
University of Birmingham, UK
This new textbook addresses
the the impact of conflict and
security on development
initiatives. Currently, there is
no available textbook that
marries academic teaching and
approaches with practical policy
experience in the way this one
does. The authors integrate
these elements through three
key features:
• uses the best of recent
academic theory, field research and policy to provide
an overview of the connections between security and
development
• explores the implications of these connections for the
theory and practice of development
• investigates the challenges that arise for post-conflict
reconstruction when we recognise that security and
development are mutually contingent.
The authors are experienced in both the theory and
practice of development and conflict, and illustrate the
theory about the links between conflict, security and
development with practical examples, drawing on
up-to-date literature and personal experience. Each
chapter is informed by student pedagogy and the book
will be essential reading for all students of development
studies, war and conflict studies, and human security,
and is recommended for students of international
security and IR in general.
Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Security and
Development - Mutually Reinforcing? 3. Accounting for
Conflict in the Developing World 4. The Changing Nature
of Conflict and its Impact on Development 5. Development
Actors in War 6. International and Humanitarian Intervention
7. The Privatisation of Security 8. Development and Security
in Post-Conflict Environments 9 . International Responses
to the Development-Security Dilemma 10. Conclusions:
Development and Security - Reconnecting the Threads.
