DESCRIPTION
The book 'Terrorism and Violence in Southeast Asia' seeks to assess and analyze the current problem of terrorism and transnational violence in Southeast Asia from a variety of angles. It also assesses terrorist challenges transnationally, in specific countries and as a result of enabling conditions--three frameworks that provide an overall view of religious terror's past, present and future prospects. Thus, it provides a unique collection of perspectives on a complex and sensitive issue that will likely remain a long-term challenge to states and societies in Southeast Asia
