One person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. This is the--apparently unsolvable--dilemma that arises in discussions about the nature of terrorism. Surprisingly, this uncertainty has not impeded the Global War on Terrorism, in which every citizen has been reduced to a potential terrorist. This book addresses questions such as: What is the difference between political activism and terrorism? When does counterterrorism become state terrorism? As a result, the book presents a definition of terrorism from the perspective of systems theory that centers on civil rights and political liberties.
