{"product_id":"territoriality-of-radical-islamist-groups","title":"Territoriality of Radical Islamist Groups","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the issue of territorial control by violent jihadist groups, using a comparative perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book argues that in many parts of the world the connection between a state and the control over territory is not as close as presented by conventional political maps, and therefore it is necessary to analyse the territoriality of non-state actors as well. Based on a variety of case studies, the work looks at different levels of connection between the violent Islamist groups and territory, dividing them into non-territorial, semi-territorial and territorial groups. While the majority of the cases are located in the Middle East (Islamic State, Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda at the Arabian Peninsula, Ha´yat Tahrir al-Sham, Hamas and Hezbollah), the book also draws cases from Africa (groups in the western Sahel, Al-Shabaab and Boko Haram), South Asia (Taliban), and East Asia (Abu Sayyaf). By providing in-depth understanding of their respective approaches to territory, the book identifies the specifics of each group’s territoriality, while also drawing more general conclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of terrorism and political violence, radical Islam, Middle Eastern studies, and International Relations in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45589277671662,"sku":"9780367745738","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780367745738_17bb8572-ed83-404d-829a-180923ac8189.jpg?v=1721221105","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/territoriality-of-radical-islamist-groups","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
