On Terrorism: Chinese Perspectives

The rise of terrorism has become a major factor in the destabilization of global structures since the end of the Cold War. Large-scale terrorist attacks have occurred nearly every year since the 1990s. Many countries, regardless of their stability or volatility, have been hit by this new wave of terrorist tactics.

The authors of this book argue that considering the increasing threat that global terrorism poses, it is necessary for us to know what terrorism is. Not only its theoretical definitions, but its major features and possible development trends in the future. They discuss terrorist attacks throughout the world and analyze the nature of these attacks.

On Terrorism presents a view that although the establishment of effective preventive policies is an important step to erase breeding spaces for terrorism, the establishment of an equal international order is more important. In reality, as long as there is perpetual peace between nations, different ethical systems, and a just society as a whole, equal economic development between nations can be realized. With equal opportunity, the author feels terrorist threats will be eradicated.
