Currently, the evolving academic field of cyber-terrorism is largely dominated by single perspective, technological, political, or sociological, texts. In contrast, this book utilises a multi-disciplinary framework to provide a broader introduction to debates and developments that have largely been conducted in isolation to date. Drawing together key academics from a range of disciplinary fields, including Computer Science, Engineering, Social Psychology, International Relations, Law and Politics, the volume focuses on three broad themes : 1) how - and why - do terrorists engage with the Internet, digital technologies and cyberspace ?; 2) what threat do these various activities pose, and to whom ?; 3) how might these activities be prevented, deterred or responded to ? Exploring these themes, the book engages with a range of contemporary case studies and different forms of terrorism : from lone-actor terrorists, protest activities associated with 'hacktivist' groups and state-based terrorism. Through the book's engagement with questions of law, politics, technology and beyond, the volume offers a holistic approach which provides both a unique and valuable contribution to this subject matter.
