Nigeria seems to be in the news all of the time for something, be it regime changes, co-operation, internal strife or oil policies.

In doing so, even agreement on how to define terrorism is in doubt and what to do about it seems beyond comprehension at the moment. This volume presents a broad cross section of analyses of weaknesses and actions in the ongoing battle including cyberterrorism, international terrorism, and societal implications of terrorism.
