"At the end of April 2004, the first author of this article gave a talk called Racial Conflict Revisited. In early July 2005, three young men caught a train from Leeds to London, where they were joined by a collaborator, and rapidly became the prime suspects in the 7/7 suicide bombings of the London underground and bus system. What, if anything, does the latter event tell us about the evolving pattern of conflict in the twenty-first century? In this analysis we seek to explore the complexities of ethnic and racial divisions in the contemporary global environment, looking backwards to the forces unleashed by the end of the Cold War, and forward to the probable challenges of the next two decades, that will undoubtedly be linked to the so-called "War on Terror"."
