Call for Papers
"Terrorism in the Digital Age"
International Conference
Al-Hussein bin Talal University
Petra (Jordan)
10-13 July 2008
__________________________________________________
Terrorism is becoming the major national and international
security threat. In our changing world which has
tremendously become highly interdependent, connected and
globalized, with free inter-mobility of people, goods and
cultures between states, nations and corporations have
created unprecedented prosperity, as economic freedom can
often and does promote broader human liberties. However, the
expansion of ties among nations have also brought about
adverse implications for human rights and democracy in far
corners of the world, threatening the national and
international security. Security threats, organized crimes,
terrorism and cyberterrorism have all crossed boarders
without natural permission. Hence no single state can
encounter all of these threats alone. Individuals, more than
states threaten national security, whereas state power and
control have been delimited.
Al-Hussein bin Talal University International Conference
Terrorism in the Digital Age addresses 49 topics, all
relevant to the problem of terrorism. We hope in this
conference to provide a common platform and intellectual
stimulus for exploring the themes of the conference. Threats
to security can be internal, external and transnational.
International wars, and conflict, terrorism, weapons of mass
destruction, organized crimes, cyberterroism, informational
crime, are some example.
We hope that the contributions from abroad and Jordan would
assist in deriving a common global agenda for encountering
terrorism and the protection of the human rights in the
world.
