| Summary/Abstract |
This study raises two questions: have terror attacks been globalized and if so, is the phenomenon somehow linked with globalization. Two opposite hypotheses are tested by trend analysis for the years 1968-2007, using several statistical tools. The principal conclusions are that terror attacks have not become globalized and even display signs of localization since the 1990s. Furthermore, globalization is not significantly connected, positively or negatively, with transnational terror attack trends.

| Summary/Abstract |
The origins of West German terrorism are closely linked to post-war Germany's problems of dealing with the National Socialist past. The terrorist groups defined themselves as "antifascist" and accused the Federal Republic of Germany, the USA, and Israel of continuing "imperialist" Nazi policy, which was supposed to justify their "armed struggle." On the other hand, the terrorists themselves have been described as "Hitler's children" in the sense that they had adopted key aspects of National Socialist ideology, including anti-Semitism. The article reviews the evidence for such an assessment in the context of Germany's debates about the legacy of National Socialism.

| Summary/Abstract |
Israel's counter-terrorism policies have often aroused the anger of the Palestinians and the international community. One of the most controversial policies is the demolition and sealing of houses of families connected to a terrorist act. While there is significant media attention on this controversial policy, there have been very few academic studies examining the effectiveness of this policy. This article examines Israel's policy during the first Intifada (1987-1993), administered in accordance with section 119 (1) of the Defence Emergency Regulations of 1945 from the British Mandate government. Based on a carefully structured empirical analysis, the article concludes that the benefits of this policy do not outweigh the costs.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article offers a descriptive analysis of the evolution of the propaganda actions of the Algerian Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), later known as Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). An examination of the content of the propaganda released by the terrorist group between 1998 and 2009 allows us to identify the different stages and factors accounting for the role played by communications in the strategy of the organisation. The article argues that the AQIM has gradually become an organisation centred on the "media Jihad.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article first lays out arguments that explain why terrorists should not be treated as criminals or as soldiers. It suggests that they are best characterized as a third, distinct species. Although their basic rights should be honored, e.g., they should not be tortured, on all other matters they should be subject to distinct authorities and procedures. For instance, instead of being held indefinitely without review, they should be held until a review board (somewhat like a parole board in prison) determines that they are no longer a danger to society.
