Territoriality of Radical Islamist Groups - Security, Economy, and Identity (Paperback): Bohumil Dobos, Martin Riegl, Jakub... Territoriality of Radical Islamist Groups - Security, Economy, and Identity (Paperback)
Bohumil Dobos, Martin Riegl, Jakub Landovsky
R1,220 Discovery Miles 12 200 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book examines the issue of territorial control by violent jihadist groups, using a comparative perspective. The book argues that in many parts of the world the connection between a state and the control over territory is not as close as presented by conventional political maps, and therefore it is necessary to analyse the territoriality of non-state actors as well. Based on a variety of case studies, the work looks at different levels of connection between the violent Islamist groups and territory, dividing them into non-territorial, semi-territorial and territorial groups. While the majority of the cases are located in the Middle East (Islamic State, Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda at the Arabian Peninsula, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, Hamas and Hezbollah), the book also draws cases from Africa (groups in the western Sahel, Al-Shabaab and Boko Haram), South Asia (Taliban), and East Asia (Abu Sayyaf). By providing in-depth understanding of their respective approaches to territory, the book identifies the specifics of each group's territoriality, while also drawing more general conclusions. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism and political violence, radical Islam, Middle Eastern studies, and International Relations in general.

Perspectives on Secession - Theory and Case Studies (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020): Martin Riegl, Bohumil Dobos Perspectives on Secession - Theory and Case Studies (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020)

R2,957 Discovery Miles 29 570 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

New Middle Ages - Geopolitics of Post-Westphalian World (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Bohumil Dobos New Middle Ages - Geopolitics of Post-Westphalian World (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Bohumil Dobos
R1,557 Discovery Miles 15 570 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The book presents a world-system study based in neomedieval thinking. By utilizing this stream, it frees itself from the Westphalian lens while keeping itself firmly rooted in an empirical analysis. The book divides the world into three ideal-type geopolitical settings that interact among each other, which, in turn, affects geopolitical actors located inside them. It allows the reader to obtain an alternative understanding of the dynamic geopolitical environment of the contemporary world. The three main sections of the book contain the development of the theoretical model, empirical analysis of the global political map, and analysis of the impacts of the application of the theoretical model for the understanding of the global system. The book raises the question of conceptualization of the contemporary global order and answers it by dividing the map of the world into the three spheres and analyzing the impact of such an understanding of the world system. Spatial analysis is utilized to present the consequences of the analytical division of the global system into three ideal-types. The case studies are selected not to test the theory at hand, but to better illustrate the impacts as to make the case as clear to the readers as possible.
