Overview

This timely 2 volume edited collection looks at the extent and nature of global jihad, focusing on the often-exoticised hinterlands of jihad beyond the traditionally viewed Middle Eastern ‘centre’. As ISIS loses its footing in Syria and Iraq and al-Qaeda regroups, this comprehensive account will be a key work in the on-going battle to better understand the dynamics of jihad's global reality. The two volumes critically examine the various claims of connections between jihadist terrorism in the ‘periphery’, remote Islamist insurgencies of the ‘periphery’ and the global jihad. Each volume draws on experts in each of the geographies in question.

One topic, two volumes, three editors, four continents, 23 chapters and 28 authors. And a bibliography that sources thousands of others. No other collection could claim to come close to such comprehensive coverage on 'Global Jihad'. These volumes are a requisite on the connections between center and periphery and glocal - the cosmopolitan global. * Dr Glen Segell, University of Haifa *

Essential reading for students of global jihadist terrorism and the connection between local and international groups and actors. The complex interplay between the periphery and the global Jihad. Fascinating country studies and well-crafted overviews of history and connections of jihadist actors in the selected cases. * Dr. Daniel Koehler, Director of the German Institute on Radicalization and De-Radicalization Studies (GIRDS) *
