This volume comprises some of the key essays by Professor Crenshaw, from 1972 to the present-day, on the causes, processes and consequences of terrorism. Since the early 1970s, scholars and practitioners have tried to explain terrorism and to assess the effectiveness of government responses to the threat. Professor Crenshaw has studied terrorism since the late 1960s, well before it was topical, and this selection of her work represents the development of her thought over time in four areas: • defining terrorism and identifying its causes • the different methods used to explain terrorism, including strategic, organisational and psychological approaches • how campaigns of terrorism end • how governments can effectively contribute to the ending of terrorism. Selected Contents: Introduction: Definitions, Approaches, Trajectories, and Responses Part 1: What and Why? 1. The Concept of Terrorism 2. The Causes of Terrorism 3. ’Old’ vs. ’New’ Terrorism Part 2: Explaining Terrorism: Organizations, Strategies, and Psychology 4. The Organizational Approach 5. Subjective Realities 6. The Logic of Terrorism 7. Psychological Constraints on Instrumental Reasoning Part 3: Responding to Terrorism 8. Coercive Diplomacy 9. Strategies and Grand Strategies 10. Counterterrorism Policy and the Political Process Part 4: How Terrorism Ends 11. How Terrorism Declines 12.
