About Perspectives on Terrorism

PT seeks to provide a unique platform for established scholars as well as academics and professionals entering the field of Terrorism, Political Violence and Conflict Studies. It invites them to:

• present their perspectives on the prevention of, and response to, terrorism and related forms of violent conflict;

• submit to the journal accounts of evidence-based, empirical scientific research and analyses;

• use the journal as a forum for debate and commentary on issues related to the above.

Perspectives on Terrorism (PT) could be characterized as ‘nontraditional’ in that it dispenses with some of the traditional rigidities associated with commercial print journals. Topical articles can be published at short notice and reach, through the Internet, a much larger audience than fee- based subscription journals. Our on-line journal also offers contributors a higher degree of flexibility in terms of content, style and length of articles - but without compromising professional scholarly standards. While aiming to be policy-relevant, PT is not supporting any partisan policies regarding (counter-) terrorism and conflict-waging. Impartiality, objectivity and accuracy are guiding principles we expect contributors to adhere to.

About the Terrorism Research Initiative:

TRI was formed in 2007 by a broad association of individual scholars and representatives of institutions in order to provide the academic community as

well as counter-terrorism analysts and practitioners with scientific tools to contribute to the enhancement of human security by collaborative research – thereby allowing them to better actualize the full potential of their efforts. TRI is working to build a truly inclusive international research community and seeks to empower it by creating synergies that can extend the impact of each participant’s research endeavours.

Word of Welcome from the Editor It is a pleasure to welcome you to one of the newer publications in the field of Terrorism Studies. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our journal and explain, in a few words, the underlying impetus that motivates us and the intended direction of this online publication and the Terrorism Research Initiative (TRI) of which it is part.

Perspectives on Terrorism (PT) seeks to provide a practical platform for established and emerging scholars to present their perspectives, based on scholarship focusing on terrorism as well as other, related forms of political violence and armed conflict; it seeks to present original research and analyses and wishes to provide a forum for discourse and commentary on related issues. The journal could be characterized as 'non-traditional': it dispenses with some of the traditional rigidities of academic journals in order to allow its editors and authors a higher degree of flexibility in terms of content, style and length of articles - while at the same time maintaining professional scholarly standards. Although PT differs from other publications in the field, it is intended to be complementary and non-competitive. Indeed, the establishment of this journal was brought about in consultation with leaders in the field of terrorism and political violence studies; several of whom have also editorial responsibilities for various other scholarly journals.

One of the objectives of Perspectives on Terrorism is to allow authors to write on subjects or present thoughts that might precipitate further debates and commentary from the wider community of scholars studying violent conflict. Our aim is to contribute to the prevention and control of such violent threats to human security. Since PT is using an electronic platform, it is possible to engage in discourse more promptly than in paper-based publications.

PT is a journal of the Terrorism Research Initiative (TRI), an initiative that seeks to support the international community of terrorism researchers and scholars through the facilitation of collaborative projects and cooperative initiatives. TRI was formed in 2007 by scholars from various disciplines in order to provide the global research community with a common tool than can empower them by extending the impact of each participant's research activities. By including promising young scholars working on their PhD theses as Research and Editorial Assistants in its network, the Terrorism Research Initiative and its journal also seeks to create opportunities for them to enter the circle of more established scholars and analysts.

To enhance the quality of academic research in the field, TRI has also facilitated the publication of the Handbook of Terrorism Research [London: Routledge, 2011; 718 pp.; ISBN: 978-0-415-41157-8 (hbk)].
