Description: Globalization and terrorism are both fraught concepts; people use them loosely without regard for exactitude and often to further political ends. This book carefully defines these concepts, puts them in historical as well as political context, and then amplifies the basics with an exploration of the way in which the dreams inspired by globalization can translate all too easily into the nightmare of terrorism.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 125-133) and index.
