This ground-breaking book examines the political-economic
characteristics of twentieth- and early twenty-first-century
'neo-jihadism'. Drawing on Bourdieusian and neo-Marxist ideas, it
investigates how the neo-jihadist organisations Al Qaeda and
Islamic State engage with the capitalist paradigm of neoliberalism
in their anti-capitalist propaganda and quasi-capitalist financial
practices. Richards reveals interactions between neoliberalism and
neo-jihadism characterised by surface-level contradiction, and
structural connections that are both dialectical and mutually
reinforcing. Neoliberalism here constitutes an underlying 'status
quo', while neo-jihadism, as an evolving form of political
organisation, is perpetuated as part of this situation.
Representing unique and exclusive examples of the (r)evolutionary
phenomenon of neo-jihadism, Al Qaeda and Islamic State have
reconstituted the dominant political-economic paradigm of
neoliberalism they mobilised in response to. -- .
