"Global terrorism is anchored in the structural contradiction that exists between the globalisation of identity, and social and political causality on the one hand, and the availability of only Westphalian conventional politics on the other: between the liquid, and the solid.

This generates perverse consequences for social agents and precipitates a sense of existential anxiety."
