Case studies of 11 terrorist groups in Mindanao, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and southwest Colombia show how these groups have exchanged technologies and knowledge in an effort to innovate (i.e., improve their operational capabilities). The analysis provides national security policymakers with insight into the innovation process and suggests ways that government policies can create barriers to terrorists1 adoption of new technologies.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Noting that terrorist groups have increased their effectiveness through exchanges with other groups, the authors provide suggestions for disrupting these channels of communication and preventing the uptake of new technologies and strategies by some of the world's most dangerous organisations.
Survival, August-September 2008
The authors examine the partnerships that various terrorist groups have formed, especially with regard to mutually supportive technologies... The authors conclude that if legitimate governments are going to be successful against these organizations and their technological capabilities, they must take positive action to improve current threat assessments, create innovative ways to counter such groups, and make the possible use of these technologies too expensive in terms of cost-benefit for the terrorist groups.
