Book Synopsis
Although terrorism is an age-old phenomenon, jihadist ideology is distinctive in its ambition to destroy the foundations of world order. This title argues that a crucial element in responding to such a threat and winning the war against terror is the hegemon - a powerful state that generates cooperation among states to fight jihad.

Trade Review
"This is a provocative and important study of contemporary terrorism and counterterrorism; it is, in many ways, the best attempt yet to locate these phenomena within general international-relations theory and the workings of the international system. Mendelsohn not only provides a compelling explanation for variation in the degree of international cooperation against terrorism, but also makes an important contribution to how we theorize the institutions of international society." - Daniel H. Nexon, Georgetown University"
