From Syria to Somalia, from Libya to Indonesia, from Yemen to the capitals of Europe, Islamic militancy appears stronger, more widespread and more threatening than ever. ISIS and other groups, such as Boko Haram, together command significant military power, rule millions and control extensive territories. Elsewhere Al-Qaeda remains potent and is rapidly evolving. As a new generation of Western extremists emerges, joining conflicts abroad and attacking at home, it is imperative that we understand who these groups are and what they actually want.

Gelijn Molier is Associate Professor of Jurisprudence at Leiden University. The Islamic State (ISIS) perplexed the world when its leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi declared a caliphate in 2014. This declaration was not just followed by territorial expansion, but also by several new developments in terrorism's actors, ideology, methods and geopolitics. Terrorism and Counterterrorism after the Caliphate analyzes these new developments in terrorism and counterterrorism in the wake of the ISIS-caliphate. This multidisciplinary volume combines legal, philosophical and international relations perspectives in two main lines of inquiry. First, the concepts relevant to terrorism and counter-terrorism studies are analyzed, such as the status of the ‘caliphate', the role of ‘ideology' and the links with ‘militant democracy'. Second, country-specific contributions discuss the latest developments in terrorism and counterterrorism in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and the United States.

En janvier 2015, les Francais decouvrent avec stupefaction que le territoire national peut etre de nouveau touche par des attentats islamistes. Si la France est desormais un des Etats les plus engages dans la lutte contre le terrorisme, de la bande sahelo-saharienne au Moyen-Orient, elle est aussi une des puissances qui ont contribue a destabiliser la Libye, en faisant basculer celle-ci dans le chaos et le djihadisme. la Libye et la Syrie sont actuellement les epicentres de la destabilisation islamiste de regions entieres du Sahara et du Moyen-Orient. L'emergence et le developpement de l'Etat islamique repondent a une strategie regionale et mondiale theorisee par des ideologues djihadistes et des officiers irakiens. Le depart des jeunes francais en Syrie et les attentats de Paris de janvier 2015 s'inscrivent a la fois dans cette strategie politique et dans un projet religieux islamiste. Dans cdette nouvelle forme de guerre contre le djihadisme international a laquelle la France est confrontee, il existe desormais un deuxieme front, un front interieur. Cet ouvrage presente les aspects geopolitique et religieux des crises que traverse la France et analyse le phenomene djihadiste a partir des revues et des videos de l'Etat islamique, ainsi que des temoignages rapportes par les medias francais et allemands.

In 2011, a series of anti-government uprisings shook the Middle East and North Africa in what would become known as the Arab Spring. Few could predict that these convulsions, initially hailed in the West as a triumph of democracy, would give way to brutal civil war, the terrors of the Islamic State, and a global refugee crisis. But, as the author shows, the seeds of catastrophe had been sown long before. In this gripping account, he examines the myriad complex causes of the region's profound unraveling, tracing the ideological conflicts of the present to their origins in the United States invasion of Iraq in 2003 and beyond. From this investigation emerges a rare view into a land in upheaval through the eyes of six individuals - the matriarch of a dissident Egyptian family; a Libyan Air Force cadet with divided loyalties; a Kurdish physician from a prominent warrior clan; a Syrian university student caught in civil war; an Iraqi activist for women's rights; and an Iraqi day laborer-turned-ISIS fighter. A probing and insightful work of reportage, this book offers a penetrating portrait of the contemporary Arab world and brings the stunning realities of an unprecedented geopolitical tragedy into crystalline focus.
