Terrorism studies are significant for a number of reasons. The findings can inform the policy and decision makers on multifaceted levels, including evidence based policy, and prevention as well as rehabilitation programs. As it was observed, the following 9/11 terrorist attacks, states and communities tend to react ideological violence in an unstructured manner based on the common-sense perception of threats. As such, terrorism studies have considerably amplified with an objective of providing policy makers and practitioners with evidence based findings. Terrorism studies can also be described as a versatile field for collaboration among various fields, from international relations to forensic psychology and public administration. In line with this understanding, the present book compromised of a number of multidisciplinary contemporary issues in terrorism studies, including (i) Anti-government extremism (AGE), (ii) Nexus between organized crime and terrorist groups, (iii) Exploitation of children by terrorist groups, (iv) Non-state actors in counter radicalization, and (v) International efforts of combatting terrorism in pandemic environment. The multidisciplinary perspective in the content of the book provides the reader with emerging issues in terrorism in a comparative framework.
