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.

This book explores the changing nature of secessionist attempts in
connection with rapidly evolving geopolitical and technological
landscapes. By presenting theoretical chapters as well as case
studies on various secessionist movements around the globe, the
contributing authors study a range of topics, including: the role
of the media in secessionist conflicts; secessionist referenda and
the viability of secessionist attempts in terms of their internal
dimension; and external support and interference. The book will
appeal to political scientists and international relations scholars
who are interested in the processes, politics and geopolitical
implications of secessionist movements.

This book presents novel theoretical and empirical findings on the
issue of unrecognized states and secession. The first part of the
book conceptualizes unrecognized states as entities with a national
identity and which have achieved political independence, yet are
not internationally recognized as independent states. It also
addresses topics such as the role of superpowers in secessionist
conflicts, ontological security in post-Soviet states, and factors
influencing the legitimacy of secession referenda. In turn, the
book's second part presents selected case studies on various
secessionist regions and territories, including Kurdistan, the
Caucasus, Kosovo, and Bougainville.
