Résumé
Beyond geographic sanctuary, the authors of this collaborative work examine the safe havens that terrorists have developed in urban areas, via the Internet and through cooperation with well-organized criminal groups with international reach. They also make clear that the terrorists have built a comfortable, proficient, and throughly modern relationship with globalization's impacts, and are exploiting the increasing unwillingness of Western governments to enforce their own laws.--Cf. foreword.
