Political Studies Review, 2009, vol. 7, issue 2, 171-184

Abstract: Terrorism studies is one of the fastest‐growing areas of social scientific research in the English‐speaking world. This article examines some of the main challenges, problems and future developments facing the wider terrorism studies field through a review of seven recently published books. It argues that while a great deal of the current research is characterised by a persistent set of weaknesses, an increasing number of theoretically rigorous and critically oriented studies that challenge established views suggest genuine reasons for optimism about the future of terrorism research.
