This book examines a wide array of phenomena that arguably
constitute the most noxious, extreme, terrifying, murderous,
secretive, authoritarian, and/or anti-democratic aspects of
national and international politics. Scholars should not ignore
these "dark sides" of politics, however unpleasant they may be,
since they influence the world in a multitude of harmful ways. The
second volume in this two-volume collection focuses primarily on
assorted religious extremists, including apocalyptic millenarian
cults, Islamists, and jihadist terrorist networks, as well as CBRN
(chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) terrorism and the
supposedly new "nexus" between organized criminal and extremist
groups employing terrorist operational techniques. A range of
global case studies are included, most of which focus on the lesser
known activities of certain religious extremist milieus. This
collection should prove to be essential reading for students and
researchers interested in understanding seemingly arcane but
nonetheless important dimensions of recent historical and
contemporary politics.
