Dr Kevin McDonald is Senior Lecturer in
Sociology at the University of Melbourne.
He is the author of Global Movements:
Action and Culture (Blackwell, 2006) and
is currently writing Terrorism: Shifting
Paradigms to be published by Palgrave.
Abstract: Today terror is mutating from state-centred action involving
graduated organized violence, to the personalised
catastrophic violence of a new form of global movement.
This lecture asks how sociology can help us understand
this mutation, and considers the implications for Australia
and the wider Asia region.
