  • Attribution

    Michael Burleigh

  • Publication Details

    Book, HarperPress, 2008

  • Description

    A far-reaching history of terrorism across the world from its beginnings to the modern-day, from the highly acclaimed author of ‘Sacred Causes’ and ‘Earthly Powers’. Basing his study on a wide range of sources and key players from the world of terrorism, Burleigh explains and defines the meaning of terrorism and marks its progression from its hard to trace beginnings to the modern-day. Finally, he makes clear that the west has considerable resources to comprehend and combat terrorism — despite consistently failing to do so — and highlights the shamefully inadequate nature of US public diplomacy.

Terrorism In Southeast Asia

  • Terrorism In Southeast Asia

  • Attribution

    Bruce Vaughn, Emma Chanlett -Avery, Thomas Lum …. [et al.]

  • Publication Details

    Book, Nova Science Publishers, 2008

  • Description

    Since September 2001, the United States has been concerned with radical Islamist groups in Southeast Asia, particularly those in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore that are known to have ties to the Al Qaeda terrorist network. These attacks suggest that JI remains capable of carrying out relatively large-scale plots against Western targets, despite the arrest or death of hundreds of JI members, including most of its known leadership.To combat the threat, the Bush Administration has pressed countries in the region to arrest suspected terrorist individuals and organisations, deployed over 1,000 troops to the southern Philippines to advise the Philippine military in their fight against the violent Abu Sayyaf Group, launched a Regional Maritime Security Initiative to enhance security in the Straits of Malacca, increased intelligence sharing operations, restarted military-military relations with Indonesia (including restoring International Military Education and Training [IMET]), and provided or requested from Congress over $1 billion in aid to Indonesia and the Philippines.
