Table of ContentsReviewsThis book brings good contemporary social science to the public debate about the role of terror in the modern democracy. In the natural world, we typically see that people who find terrorism threatening will be more likely to support authoritarian and security-minded policies, but it is hard to say how much of this set of beliefs stems from a genuine concern about terrorism rather than personality or political interests.
