Osama bin Laden's demise in May 2011 marked only the symbolic end
of an era. By the time of his killing, he no longer represented the
Robin Hood icon that once stirred global fascination. Ten years
after the 11 September 2001 attacks, jihadi terrorism has largely
lost its juggernaut luster. It now mostly resembles a patchwork of
self-radicalising local groups with international contacts but
without any central organisational design - akin to the radical
left terrorism of the 1970s and the anarchist fin-de-siecle
terrorism. This volume addresses two issues that remain largely
unexplored in contemporary terrorism studies. It rehabilitates the
historical and comparative analysis as a way to grasp the essence
of terrorism, including its jihadi strand. Crucial similarities
with earlier forms of radicalisation and terrorism abound and
differences appear generally not fundamental. Likewise, the very
concept of radicalisation is seldom questioned anymore.
Nevertheless it often lacks conceptual clarity and empirical
validation. Once considered a quintessential European phenomenon,
the United States too experiences how some of its own citizens
radicalise into terrorist violence. This collective work compares
radicalisation in both continents and the strategies aimed at
de-radicalisation. But it also assesses if the concept merits its
reputation as the holy grail of terrorism studies. The volume is
aimed at an audience of decision makers, law enforcement officials,
academia and think tanks, by its combination of novel thinking,
practical experience and a theoretical approach.
