In other words, there is little self-conscious, sophisticated engagement with theoretical developments elsewhere and even less rigorous application of explicitly visible methodologies by the terrorism research community as a whole. As perceptively pointed out by Jeroen Gunning, this theoretical paucity can be explained by the fact that many ‘who publish elsewhere do not wish to be identified with “terrorism studies” ’ (Gunning, 2007a: 380). Very few heavyweight IR scholars or Middle East studies specialists elect to publish in any of the two core terrorism studies journals.

Taking intellectual stock as to the state of the art of terrorism research and where there are problems and prospects is essential in order to reflect on past achievements and where research needs to head. Terrorism research has come a long way, but has even further to journey in different directions. The time has come for more rigorous research inventories and exploration of multidisciplinary approaches into terrorism as a complex social and behavioral phenomenon.
