Holistic Approach to the Analysis and Study of Terrorism

Abstract

Thirteen years after 9/11, the production of expertise about terrorism, by members of the academic world and law enforcement agency (LEA) analysts has increased. Despite this fact, it has had no influence either on the methodologies used or in the need to integrate the huge amount of fragmented knowledge that already exists. This article proposes a new holistic approach for the prevention of and fight against terrorism.
