Scholarly
analysis of evolving jihadist organisation, strategies, and operation
Jihadist militants
keep being a global threat. Many observers suggest that a transformation is
likely to happen in their organisation, operation, mobilisation, and recruitment
strategies, particularly after the territorial decline of the “Caliphate” of the
“Islamic State.” This volume explores different aspects of the future
trajectories of militant jihadism and the
prospective transformation of this movement in and around Europe. The authors analyse
the changing jihadist landscape and networks, and the societal challenges posed
by both returned foreign terrorist fighters and those who have not returned to
their countries of origin. Other topics of discussion are cyber jihadism,
jihadist financing, women's position in and relevance for contemporary
jihadism, the role of prisons in relation to
radicalisation and militancy, and the changing theological dynamics. Based on
recent empirical research, Militant
Jihadism offers a solid scholarly contribution to various disciplines that study
violence, terrorism, security, and extremism.
