Transnational terrorism is analyzed as a political resource or, more specifically, as a means of political communication. To examine how terrorists have used the media, a content analysis was performed of the coverage given to a selected sample of 158 incidents of transnational terrorism, between 1968 & 1974, by 2 major daily newspapers of the Western world: The New York Times, & The Times of London. Findings indicate that while transnational terrorism does generate a considerable amount of press attention, the particular type of coverage it receives would appear to undermine the effectiveness of terrorism as a communications strategy. 10 Tables, Appendix.

Without a doubt Karl Marx ́philosophical work had a fundamental impact on "western" concepts of society and economics that still reverberates in the philosophical discourse on Marx. When it comes to analyzing this ongoing discourse it should be noted that due to language barriers the work of Chinese scholars is underrepresented in this discourse. This book is a translation of Zhang Yibingś reference work "Back to Marx" first published in 1999 in the PRC. The book is a serious inquiry into the complex interrelationships between Marxś political and economic philosophy, based on a very careful and systematic reading of a wide range of textual sources, includingin particularthe newly published second edition of the Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (MEGA2), which collects a large amount of notes, drafts, manuscripts, and excerpts previously unavailable to the scholarly community. The analyses themselves are closely reasoned, subtle, and circumspect. It may best be described as a "dialectics of Marxś thought" from the first writings in the late 1830s through the 1840s and through the "Grundrisse" and "Capital". Other than the sharp breaks offered by "Western Marxist" commentators such as Althusser the author of this book reflects both on continuities and discontinuities, surface readings and deep structures, and the interplay of philosophy, history and economics in the various phases of an unfolding theoretical system based throughout on a critique of capitalism. The secondary literature on Marx covers works published in Western Europe and North America, Eastern Europe and Russia (Soviet Union), China and Japan. This kind of coverage is an important contribution in itself and allows non-chinese readers insights into the Chinese reception and interpretation of the international discourse on Marx. The author Prof. Dr. Zhang Yibing teaches philosophy at the Nanjing University and is one of the foremost scholars of Marxism in China, a Marxist analyst of contemporary philosophical issues. At the same time he is the Chancellor of the Nanjing University.
