Summary/Abstract: The foundations of this complex and comprehensive volume were laid back in 2006 by the three editors, Philip Vos Fellman, Yaneer Bar-Yam, Ali A. Minai and it was built with contributions of experts in a wide variety of disciplines, such as political science, economics, history, sociology, geography, psychology, mathematics, computer science, and physics, to name just a few. This diversity of their ellaborated perspectives stands from the beginning as a distinctive characteristic, distinguishing this volume from other approaches on similar topics, and consequently transforming it in a unique contribution. The analyses encompassed in this edited volume focus on stringent problematics of our time, from terrorism and battlefield warfare, to ethnic and regional violence; while at the same time they stand and illustrate an effort to make a significant contribution in combating terrorism, as well as ethnic and regional violence.
