Given the importance of violent non-state actors (VNSA) and their
evolving role in global politics, dynamic frameworks of analysis
are needed both to trace historical trajectories in the evolution
of violent non-state actorness and to identify emerging patterns by
examining modern day cases. This book examines the defining
characteristics and evolutionary dynamics of VNSAs, and introduces
a framework based on their autonomy, representation and influence
providing a comparative analysis of the late 19th and early 20th
centuries' Anarchist movement and the modern-day Jihadist network.
It explores the distinct characteristics of the Anarchists and
Jihadists as VNSAs with global potential, not just describing them,
but also seeking to understand what they are instances of. With a
longitudinal analysis, the book also considers the types of changes
that have occurred in the past 150 years and the possible role
VNSAs may play in current and future power polity shifts away from
states toward non-state actors. It concludes with both theoretical
implications for the study of non-state actors and transnational
relations, and practical implications for government agencies or
private groups tasked with finding ways of countering such violent
non-state actors. This important book will be of interest to
students and scholars of international relations, political
science, and terrorism/security studies. It will also be of
interest to practitioners in the security services including
think-tank analysts and government security analysts.
