Talking terrorism with veteran US observer and practitioner Brian Jenkins

What would a person who has been thinking and writing about terrorism for fifty years have to say about this phenomenon? A lot as it turns out. Borealis has a lengthy exchange with Rand Corporation's Brian Jenkins, a true pioneer in the study of violent extremism.
