Terrorism
Expert commentary by Fathali Moghaddam
October 13, 2008

On September 11, 2001, the United States suffered the deadliest attack ever on American soil. Since 2001, terrorists have found targets on almost every continent, with bombings in Bali, London, Madrid, and elsewhere, raising national and international security questions. Psychology professor Fathali Moghaddam discusses the psychology of terrorism, global conflict resolution, and describes a new American dilemma of reconciling contradictions in United States' foreign policy ideals and practice.

Fathali Moghaddam is an expert on culture and intergroup conflict, with particular focus on the psychology of globalization, radicalization, and terrorism. He can comment on the areas of culture and behavior, multiculturalism, collective aggression, terrorism, perceived injustice, contextualized democracy, and health and culture.
