This volume investigates the evolution of international terrorism and the corresponding development of counter-terrorism strategies across both Western and non-Western contexts from the early twentieth century to the present. Edited by Jussi M. Hanhimäki and Bernhard Blumenau, the collection compiles scholarly essays that examine how state actors, international organizations, and non-state groups have navigated political violence. By analyzing specific historical case studies, the contributors argue that terrorism is not a static phenomenon but one that adapts to shifting geopolitical landscapes and state responses.
