Routledge Handbook of Transnational Terrorism

Więcej o książce

This handbook features contributions from leading experts on recent trends in transnational terrorism. Utilizing a trend- and key factor analysis approach on the "Foresight Strategy Cockpit" platform, the volume explores potential future variants of transnational terrorism. It examines the latest structural developments in politically or religiously motivated violence, focusing on tactical, strategic, and systemic dimensions. Organized into seven thematic sections, the handbook addresses a variety of topics, including strategic and hybrid terrorism, the systemic aspects of extremist violence, key actors, counter-narratives, the crime-terror nexus, digitalization's impact, and the dynamic interplay between Islamist and right-wing terrorism. The expert contributions offer a concise overview of current developments, structural connections, and significant academic discussions related to transnational salafi-jihadi and right-wing terrorism, as well as counter-terrorism efforts. A primary goal is to clarify and evaluate the effects of prevention, (de-)radicalization, and (non-)intervention strategies. This work provides well-founded strategies and practical solutions for policymakers and counter-terrorism professionals, making it a valuable resource for students of terrorism, political violence, and security studies.
