N2  - The purpose of this book is to address a wide range of relevant cause of terrorism in order to assess their relative importance in producing terrorist outcomes.  The three chapters discuss the role of the state in facilitating sponsoring or perpetrating terrorism.  One main set of findings concerns several widely held assumptions of what causes of terrorism, the alleged causal relationship between poverty and terrorism, that state sponsorship is a root cause of terrorism that suicide terrorism is predominantly motivated by religion and that terrorists are insane and irrational actors.  A team of international experts analyses the possibilities and limitations of preventing and reducing terrorism by addressing the factors that give rise to it and sustain it
