The book explores the dynamic and dysfunctional relationships between the executive and legislative branches of government and the news media after the attacks of September 11, 2001. Their collective behavior led to the Iraq war in March 2003. The proper functioning of those two branches of government and the news media as watchdog was nowhere to be found. Perfect for students and those interested in politics, government, journalism, media studies/public policy, and international affairs/relations.

"Why is it that terrorism has become such a central factor in our lives despite all the efforts to eradicate it? Ranging from early modern Europe to the contemporary Middle East, Martin Miller reveals the foundations of modern terrorism. He argues that the French Revolution was a watershed moment as it was then that ordinary citizens first claimed the right to govern. The traditional notion of state legitimacy was forever altered and terrorism became part of a violent contest over control of state power between officials in government and insurgents in society. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries terrorism evolved into a way of seeing the world and a way of life for both insurgents and state security forces with the two sides drawn ever closer in their behaviour and tactics. This is a groundbreaking history of terrorism which, for the first time, integrates the violence of governments and insurgencies"--

The technological developments of recent years have influenced both the threat of terrorist attacks and the defence against them, and continue to be the focus of attention.

This book presents the proceedings of the NATO Centre of Excellence - Defence against Terrorism (COE-DAT) Advanced Research Workshop, ""Technological Dimensions of Defence against Terrorism"", held in Ankara, Tur

A terrorist attack in a major city using an RDD or an IND could result not only in the loss of life but also have enormous psychological and economic impacts. Major cities are assumed to be preferred targets of such attacks, and local governments, along with their states, have primary responsibilities for early response (within the first 24 hours), with assistance from federal sources, as necessary, coming later. A disjointed or untimely response could increase the impact and undermine public confidence in federal, state and local governments' ability to respond to an attack. This book provide
