Abstract: Abstract Transnational terrorism is often portrayed as a force that can clandestinely threaten enemies across oceans and borders. This portrayal, or caricature, simplifies the motives, and intricate methods for, terrorist organisations choosing to expand their area of operations or alliances. This chapter aims to detail the transnationality of terrorist organisations, including fundraising, communications, alliance-forming, as well as movement and target selection. By completing this exercise, the true threat that terrorism ‘going global’ poses can be better understood.
