Informationen zum Autor Tom Smith is Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Portsmouth (UK). Kirsten E. Schulze is Associate Professor in International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science (UK).Examining the global nature of jihad Zusammenfassung 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.
