Editorial Reviews

Review

"[D]emonstrates the shortcomings of proposals to attack terrorism at its source when there are so many ways of hiding: in the ungovernable interiors of failed states, in the obscurity of urban London, on the Internet."

Foreign Affairs

"Innes presents 11 chapters that challenge conventional understandings of denying terrorists safe havens in the post-September 11th environment that are typically framed in strictly geographical terms. The collection is organized in such a manner as to address the following specific problem-sets of denying terrorists sanctuary: the political geography of sanctuary, the political discourse that has structured our understanding of it, al Qaeda and the state, terrorist exploitation of state failure, border security and urban warfare, transnational crime and terrorist finance, national security law, information warfare and virtual havens, diaspora issues, and problems of state-building and reconstruction."
