IN ADDITION TO SELF-EXPLANATORY GEOGRAPHIC SECTIONS, INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM IS LISTED SEPARATELY AND ONE SECTION IS DEVOTED TO THE UNITED NATIONS. THE ISSUES OF COMBATTING TERRORISM ARE DEALT WITH IN TERMS OF MACROPERSPECTIVES AND MICROPERSPECTIVES. A BRIEF LIST OF LITERATURE DEALS WITH TERROR CAMPAIGNS.
