This book examines contemporary issues and debates of terrorism in
Bangladesh, including national and transnational terrorist outfits
operating within the country, their narratives and
counternarratives, ideologues, women and the youth, media
representation, counterterrorism laws, and challenges. Bangladesh
is a fascinating and often paradoxical case study for terrorism
studies. The book examines major terrorist groups in contemporary
Bangladesh and their international connections and narratives, as
well as a case study of an influential ideologue who encouraged
some Bangladeshis to engage in violence. The chapters discuss how
women and youth play a role in Bangladeshi terrorism, how the
internet is used for recruiting terrorists, the discourses of the
media and state regarding terrorism, as well as the politics of law
and counterterrorism initiatives, including critically evaluating
non-state actors and government responses. In addition to providing
an up-to-date analysis of terrorism and counterterrorism in
Bangladesh, this book offers a balanced and unbiased perspective on
this subject. It will appeal to academics and international
policymakers who are researching violence and extremism in South
Asia.
