Attacks on London and New York have driven growth in a once marginal subject

Terrorism Studies
Attacks on London and New York have driven growth in a once marginal subject. According to a report in the Times Higher Education Supplement, terrorism is big business for UK universities, with levels of research and teaching in the area snowballing, experts said this week. A new book on terrorism is now being published every six hours in the English language, according to the latest research.

Meanwhile, course directors are reporting record levels of interest, with a surge in student demand leading to the creation of scores of new courses. A search for the word ‘terrorism’ on the website of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, UK, currently yields 30 grants worth 14.9 million pounds.
