    Description

    SAGE Publications India Pvt Ltd Countering Terrorism: Psychosocial Strategies by Updesh Kumar and Manas K Mandal

    Countering Terrorism: Psychosocial Strategies contextualizes the issues related to terrorism and places the discourse within the ambit of sociocultural theories. The book goes beyond the obvious and commonsensical notions and discusses the relevant issues from interdisciplinary perspectives, informed by theoretical stances of not only psychological sciences, but other social sciences like political science, criminology, military, and sociology as well.

    The volume contains 18 chapters by expert authors with diverse cultural backgrounds and provides a wide-ranging canvas for multifaceted understanding of the terror phenomenon. The opening section, “Understanding Terrorism: Psychosocial Issues”, places emphasis on developing a well-heeled construct with strong theoretical foundations and empirical understanding of the psycho-socio-cultural dynamics involved in perpetration of terror acts. The second section, “Countering Terrorism: Psychosocial Avenues”, flows from the understanding thus attained and expounds counterterror strategies and preventive measures that go beyond the obvious short-term goals and envisage the creation of a peaceful world.
