ABSTRACT
Terrorism today is a transnational problem, no longer contained within the borders-or the jurisdiction-of a single state. As states become increasingly unable to openly support or to control terrorism, and more troubled states become safe havens for terrorist groups, modern terrorism has become an “international business,” networked across state borders as terrorists carry out, and finance, the business of terror. Let us consider modern terrorism as a network with business activities and funding that cross the globe, and with an increasingly loose affiliation among groups with shared interests or goals.
