{"product_id":"islamic-state-in-libya-and-brad-power-9781516868841","title":"Islamic State in Libya and Tunisia: After Kadhafi's Death","description":"The Islamic State announced several months ago that it was \"annexing\" territory in Algeria (Wilayat al-Jazair), Libya (Wilayat al-Barqah, Wilayat al-Tarabulus and Wilayat al-Fizan), Sinai (Wilayat Sinai), Saudi Arabia (Wilayat al-Haramayn) and Yemen (Wilayat al-Yaman). It is likely that the Islamic State plans to pursue a similar approach in Afghanistan and Pakistan following its announcement of accepting pledges of allegiance from former members of the Afghan and Pakistan Taliban to also try and \"annex\" territory there under the framework of a new wilayah called \"Wilayat Khorasan.\" On its face, this bold declaration of an expanding number of wilayat (provinces) resembles the announcements by al-Qaeda of creating numerous franchises in the mid-2000s. The Islamic State's \"wilayat\" strategy differs in significant ways from al-Qaeda's \"franchise\" strategy, however.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brad Power\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1516868846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781516868841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.08d","brand":"Brad Power","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623102558463,"sku":"9781516868841","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islamic-state-in-libya-and-brad-power-9781516868841","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
