Root Causes of Suicide Terrorism: The Globalization of Martyrdom
420874854.001.png
ROOT CAUSES OF SUICIDE TERRORISM
Suicide terrorism in its modern form appeared in the 1980s when the Shiite
Hezbollah was the first organization to use this strategy in Lebanon. Its
subsequent adoption by many organizations in the Middle East and Asia, the
majority either Arab or Muslim, led many scholars to emphasize the role of Islam
in suicide terrorism’s emergence and spread.
Bringing together leading scholars in the field of terrorism studies, amongst
them Marc Sageman, Leonard Weinberg, and Mia Bloom, this volume sets out to
reassess the root causes of suicide terrorism at elite and rank-and-file levels.
Challenging the widespread argument that suicide bombing is tightly connected
to Islam, the contributors have approached the topic from a socio-cultural
perspective and have juxtaposed the role of religion, and specifically Islam, in
generating suicide terrorism with power struggles between elites for state control.
This volume will be essential reading for students of terrorism, security
studies, political science, and Middle Eastern politics.
Ami Pedahzur is an Associate Professor at the Department of Government,
University of Texas, Austin.
