Taylor & Francis Ltd Conducting Terrorism Field Research A Guide by Adam Dolnik
This book offers a detailed and practically oriented guide to the challenges of conducting terrorist fieldwork._x000D__x000D_The past decade has seen an explosion of research into terrorism. However, field research on terrorism has traditionally been surrounded by many myths, and has been called anything from "necessary" and "crucial" to "dangerous", "unethical" and "impossible". While there is an increasing interest among terrorism specialists in conducting such research, there is no single volume providing prospective field researchers with a guideline to such work._x000D__x000D_Conducting Terrorism Field Research aims to fill this gap and offers a collection of articles from experienced authors representing different risk groups, disciplines, methodological approaches, regional specializations, and other context-specific aspects. Each contributor provides a road-map to their own research, describing planning and preparation phases, the formalities involved in getting into conflict zones and gaining access to sources. The end product is a 'how to' guide to field research on terrorism, which will be of much value to terrorism experts and novices alike. _x000D__x000D_This book will be of much interest to students and researchers of terrorism studies, war and conflict studies, criminology, IR and security studies._x000D_show more
