Document Summary
Regional: e. g. middle east: global scale of terrorism. After september 11, 2001, the media focused on global terrorism. British and american governments deployed traditional implementation of a territorial solution". Traditional approaches (territorial watchfulness) seem incapable to eradicate global terror networks. Not effective in understanding because they are networks. Networks do not have territorial centre, but are capable of effortless diffusion of ideas. Solutions from the 20th century have been challenged in the global community of information and networking in the 21st century. Networks have an array of temporary operative sites. Al qaeda"s bases, scattered in several states at the same time, make possible the recruitment of new members. Iraq, sahara desert, somalia, arabian peninsula, afghanistan/pakistan border, indonesia. Traditional/territorial approaches not effective because it"s scattered: national scale of terrorism. Nationalist movements draw their strength from a broad base of the population. Terrorists have ties and support from people in the countries.
