Denemark p62 "Economic upswings and downswings are prime causes of ethnic violence, a form of conflict in which terror plays an unfortunately large role." Escude p94 "Regaining hegemony through successful exploitative domination, in the right place and at the right time, might indeed be the duty of the United States towards a human species that could not survive a crisis of hegemony in the context of the new era and its novel threats." Fox p114 "Religious terrorism is at least in part a product of the world system." Debski, Foks, Gorka-Winter p130 "As the fight against terrorism requires the activity of many citizens, such contacts may give rise to a further strengthening of ties even between societies that hitherto have shown mistrust to one another."
