ABSTRACT
Events since the 9/11 terror attacks have demonstrated the dynamic nature of terrorism. Terrorist actors have proven to be adaptive and intelligent in their responses to physical and technological countermeasures. Despite lacking a comprehensive definition, terrorism as a phenomenon can be analyzed through a multitude of academic disciplines. By understanding the scholarly value these disciplines offer, with particular emphasis on the human element, it is possible to explore future interdisciplinary educational approaches to the counterterrorism imperative.
