This comprehensive book delves into novel and unconventional aspects of international terrorism in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. It uncovers topics that often go unnoticed in mainstream literature, such as the environmental message conveyed by terror groups, the challenges faced by female jihadists, and the strategic use of social media by these organizations. While some old issues continue to warrant a dissenting perspective, such as the Iran nuclear deal, newer concerns, such as the impact of the Abrahamic Accord on the Middle East, emerge. At the same time, policymakers must be bold and proactive in addressing the threat of terrorism, including the willingness to cede sovereignty when confronted with a truly global threat. Taken together, this study provides a timely and insightful examination of recent developments in terrorism across the world.
