The articles in this issue focus on 1) how to distinguish terrorism from liberation struggles, with insights drawn from a case study on the armed struggle of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka; 2) how terrorist organizations use shame in their recruitment and radicalization strategies; 3) what the case of the so-called Sauerland-Group terror cell in Germany can tell us about how radical networks are formed; and 4) whether extremist organizations assess their human capital needs and modify operating standards to acquire members with advanced training and expertise. The issue also includes an interview with Max Hill, QC, independent reviewer of terrorism legislation in the UK, two research notes, three book reviews and more.
