From The Journal of Palestine Studies (Summer 2008, Vol. 37, No. 4, Pages 38–58): Secrets and Lies: The Persecution of Muhammad Salah (Part I)
The case of Muhammad Salah, a Palestinian-American grocer and Chicago resident, is the longest-running terrorism case in the United States. He was brought to trial on terrorism-funding charges in October 2006 after a thirteen-year saga that began with his January 1993 arrest in Israel as the “world commander of Hamas” and that continued in the United States following his release from Israeli prison in late 1997. Though acquitted of all terrorism-related charges by a U.S. federal jury in Chicago in February 2007, Salah was convicted on a single count of obstruction of justice.
From the Journal of Peace Research, (September 2008, volume 45, issue 5, pages 633-652): "Exporting Mass Destruction? The Determinants of Dual-Use Trade"
Dual-use commodities are those that can be used in weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs or in legitimate civilian applications. This article advances a theory suggesting that governments seeking to maximize the gains from dual-use trade will promote exports to countries where there are security guarantees and restrict exports to countries where security threats exist.
From the journal Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East (Volume 28(1), Pages 200-211): "Mobilizing Muslim Women: Multiple Voices, the Sharia, and the State"
This article reflects on the challenges faced by Muslim women in Africa in the context of the globalization of women's rights and the politicization of Islam. I argue that the gender hierarchies shaping Muslim women's identity politics are embedded in the broader historical processes of struggles against the colonial regimes, on the one hand, and the different projects of national state building, on the other hand.

From the online journal Perspectives on Terrorism (Volume II, Issue 11): "Accounting For the Waves of International Terrorism"
By studying the history of terrorism since the 1880s, Professor Rapoport identifies four distinct waves fueled by common ideological fervor emanating from anarchism, anti-colonialism, socialism, and religious fundamentalism, respectively, with the first three waves lasting roughly 40 years each.
