Asian Strategic Review 2016 : Terrorism: Emerging Trends Hardback
by S.D. Muni
Hardback
Description
The emerging trends of terrorism in Asia have in the recent past challenged the conventional wisdom that dictated and defined violence by non-state actors.
This, as the chapters in this volume suggest, is illustrated by its distinct characteristics, forcing the world at large to grapple with these threats, including volunteers from countries that had remained isolated from the contagion until now.
Various facets of the challenge from the Islamic State (IS) and the unfolding contours of terrorism in Asia, have been analysed and written about in the past.
Most of the perspectives have, however, been Western, with a sprinkling of Asian views.
The present volume is a modest attempt to join the discourse on Asian terrorism from an Indian perspective.
It is hoped that these essays will enliven and enrich the debate on the challenge of terrorism in Asia that is increasingly threatening peace and stability as well as values and ideals.
The volume has been organised in four sections. The first deals with the ideological and technological aspects as well as the funding, communication and weapons of the IS and other terror groupings.
The remaining three sections focus on West and Central Asia, South Asia, as well as China and Southeast Asia.
