The series was originally titled Terrorism: Documents of International and Local Control.
According to the Oxford University Press website, the latest volume, 146, “includes Congressional Research Service reports on security issues concerning the United States, Ukraine, and the Russian Federation, as well as an English-language version of the Military Doctrine of the Russian Federation made available to the public, NATO’s Framework for Future Alliance Operations, and recent studies on Russia’s hybrid warfare from the NATO Defense College and the Joint Special Operations University Press .”
