researchers and commissioned experts present new findings as well as easily
accessible collections of official documents and data.
Terrorism in Asymmetrical Conflict: Ideological and Structural Aspects
This thought-provoking book challenges the conventional discourse on—and
responses to—contemporary terrorism. It examines the synergy between the
extremist ideologies and the organizational models of non-state actors that
use terrorist means in asymmetrical conflict. This synergy is what makes these
terrorist groups so resilient in the face of the counterterrorist efforts of their main
opponents—the state and the international system—which are conventionally
far more powerful.
The book argues that the high mobilization potential of the supra-national
extremist ideology inspired by al-Qaeda cannot be effectively counterbalanced
at the global level by either the mainstream secular ideologies or moderate Islam.
Instead, it is more likely to be affected and transformed by radical nationalism.
Unless the political transformation of violent Islamist movements in specific
national contexts is encouraged and the transnational ideology of violent
Islamism is ‘nationalized’, it is unlikely to be amenable to external influence
or to be destroyed by repression.
