Book Talks: Waves of Global Terrorism with David C. Rapoport

In this episode, TPV editor and distinguished fellow of the Danube Institute, Jeffrey Kaplan interviews the journal’s founding editor David C. Rapoport. A prominent scholar of political violence, Rapoport argues that political concerns and technological development produced the new iterations of terrorism in the form of "waves". In his new book, out on 31 May 2022, he discusses the possibility of a fifth wave beginning to form. Also in the episode, Kaplan and Rapoport look back on their careers as close colleagues in the field and how the study of terrorism itself has changed during this time.
