Overview
This handbook provides contributions by some of the world-leading experts in the field on recent phenomena and trends in transnational terrorism. Based on the methodological approach of a trend-and-key factor analysis of transnational terrorism and processed on the virtual platform ""Foresight Strategy Cockpit"" (FSC), the volume seeks to examine what potential future variants of transnational terrorism may evolve. Focusing on the latest structural developments in the sphere of politically or religiously motivated violence, the handbook considers the tactical, strategic, and not least the systemic dimension of terrorism. Divided into seven thematic sections, the handbook’s contributions cover a wide range of issues, dealing among others with strategic and hybrid terrorism, the systemic dimension of extremist violence, prevalent actors, counter-narratives, the crime terror-nexus, the role of digitalization and the spiral dynamic between Islamist and right-wing terrorism. The expert contributions provide a condensed overview of current developments, structural linkages and important academic debates centering around transnational salafi-jihadi terrorism, but also right-wing terrorism and counter-terrorism. A key objective of the work is to make the effects of prevention/preemption, (de-) radicalization and (non-) intervention both transparent and assessable. As such, it contributes well-founded strategies, feasible solutions and options for policy-makers and counter-terrorism experts. This volume will be of great interest to students of terrorism and counter-terrorism, political violence and security studies.

Reviews
'The contributors are all important scholars. They thoroughly examine global terrorism in the last four decades focusing on the Islamic and right-wing groups but also deal with stochastic terrorism or the lone wolf form.' David C. Rapoport, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Founding Editor 'Terrorism & Political Violence' 'A thoughtfully edited collection of articles by an impressive line-up of scholars. Readers will be hard pressed to find a wider range of ideas on terrorism in a single volume than this.' Thomas Hegghammer, Senior Fellow, All Souls College, Oxford
