Content by HORN Institute
Published February 27, 2026

The Globalization of Terrorism: From Sicariis, Assassins to ISIS is an analysis of terrorism from both historical and international relations perspective. The book sheds light on the contentious subject of terrorism, tracking its beginning from antiquity, to the Middle Ages, and its subsequent globalization in the contemporary times. The focus on contemporary terrorism intersects the dizzying pace, frequency, religionized and globalized nature of recruitment and attacks that have become major threats to national and international security.

Author: Mustafa Y. Ali, Ph.D.
