Abstract

Suicide terrorism in its modern form appeared in the 1980s. The first organization to use this strategy was the Shi'ite Hizbollah in Lebanon. Later, it was adopted by many terrorist organizations in the Middle East and Asia. This new study shows how there are at least two reasons to question the central role that is assigned to religion and more specifically Islam when explaining suicide terrorism. First, suicide terrorism is a modern phenomenon, yet Islam is a very old religion. Except for two periods in the 12th and 18th centuries, suicide was never part of Islamist beliefs and behaviors. Actually, Islam clearly forbids suicide. Hence, the argument that Islamic religious beliefs are the main cause of suicide terrorism is inherently dubious. Second, many suicide attacks have been carried out by secular organizations with little connection to fundamentalist Islam: Palestinian Fatah, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Kurdish Workers Party. Moreover, one of the organizations that has employed this strategy devastatingly and regularly is the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam). Not only are members of this organization not Muslim, most of them are not religious at all. This superb book contains essays by some of the world's leading scholars of terrorism and political violence. It is essential reading for students of terrorism, political science and Middle Eastern politics, and useful to students of social psychology, theology and history.

Abstract

"Theories of Terrorism explains and advances the major theories of terrorism that address issues of becoming a terrorist, being a terrorist, and leaving terrorism, in a clear and accessible format for use by students and academics seeking to advance theoretically driven research in the area. Readers will gain an understanding of the most promising explanations of terrorism that have been developed to date and how they can be used to explore core substantive issues related to the topic. The content is delivered with a scholarly depth, though still accessible by students at different levels. The book offer explains for the three phases of radicalization, covering emerging topics such as women's involvement in terrorism, fear of terrorism, the code of the terrorist, and suicide terrorism. This is the first book in the Advances in Criminological Theory Series to address the issue of terrorism and emphasizes the use of theory for future research development. The style and content coverage of the book make it appropriate as a supplemental text in undergraduate courses on terrorism and political violence. The inclusion of current empirical literature and guidance for future research efforts gives the text appeal for graduate students and academics in the disciplines of criminology/criminal justice, political science, sociology, and interdisciplinary terrorism studies. The emphasis on theory and the radicalization process throughout the text will also make the book useful as a reference for general graduate-level theory courses within these areas"--

Abstract

This book discusses the increasing tendency in certain government quarters to incorporate struggles by peoples for their self-determination into the wider anti-terrorist agenda of the post-9/11 era. This tendency distorts the laws of armed conflict and of peace alike. As inter-state anti-terrorist co-operation becomes more extensive, the transaction costs of international peace and security between states increase. Modes of domestic state governance are left increasingly to the vagaries of inter-state non-interference in the domestic affairs of each other. The 'war on terror' and an increasingly strict, domestic state law-and-order approach to silence political opponents increases the dangers for civilians, eliminates rights, and generates suspect communities. At the same time, public institutions and private corporations are harnessed into the mechanics of a broad project of prevention and control. Distinctively, the book considers the impact of the recent war on terror' on the politics of the self-determination of peoples. It draws together issues related to governmental forceful action, an increasing intolerance towards non-state violent acts, the content of international and regional codifications, expansions in state discretion, the encroachment of surveillance powers, and the interaction and overlap between intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

Abstract

Pendant les dix ans qui separent les emeutes de l'automne 2005 des attentats de 2015 contre Charlie Hebdo puis le Bataclan, la France voit se creuser de nouvelles lignes de faille. La jeunesse issue de l'immigration postcoloniale en constitue le principal enjeu symbolique. Celle-ci contribue a la victoire de Francois Hollande aux elections de 2012. Mais la marginalisation economique, sociale et politique, entre autres facteurs, pousse certains a rechercher un modele d''islam integral' et a se projeter dans une 'djihadosphere' qui promeut la rupture avec l'Occident 'mecreant'. Le changement de generation de l'islam de France et les mutations de l'ideologie du djihadisme sous l'influence des reseaux sociaux produisent le creuset d'ou sortiront les Francais exaltes par le champ de bataille syro-irakien. Fin 2015, pres de mille d'entre eux l'ont rejoint et cent cinquante y ont trouve la mort, sans compter ceux qui perpetrent leurs attentats en France. Dans le meme temps, la montee en puissance de l'extreme droite et les succes electoraux du Front national renforcent la polarisation de la societe, dont les fondements sont aujourd'hui menaces de maniere inedite par ceux qui veulent declencher, dans la terreur et la desolation, la guerre civile. C'est a denouer les fils de ce drame qu'est consacre ce livre.
