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":"Hardcover","offer_id":45241048957079,"sku":"9780367745738","price":12867.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367745738.webp?v=1769227394","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/territoriality-of-radical-islamist-groups-security-economy-and-identity-9780367745738","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
