Jihadi Terrorism and the Radicalisation Challenge in EuropeR. Coolsaet Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2008 - 195 pagina's Often dubbed as a 'global threat', most observers analyze the terrorist threat as a patchwork of self-radicalising local groups with international contacts but without a centralengine and any central organizational design. Jihadi terrorism is composed of one major root cause in an enabling global environment and a multitude of local root causes depending on the countries involved.Focusing on the situation of jihadi terrorism and radicalization in Europe, this volume looks at the growing tendency of self-radicalisation and self-recruitment of individuals. This collective work provides both a precise state of the threat as well as a thorough analysis of the radicalization process. Aimed at an audience of policy-makers, academia and think tanks, this volume combines a theoretical approach with novel thinking and 'out of the box' policy recommendations. |
