{"product_id":"nexus-of-global-jihad-assaf-moghadam-9780231165365","title":"Nexus of Global Jihad: Understanding Cooperation Among Terrorist Actors","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeading jihadist groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State dominate through cooperation in the form of knowledge sharing, resource sharing, joint training exercises, and operational collaboration. They build alliances and lesser partnerships with other formal and informal terrorist actors to recruit foreign fighters and spread their message worldwide, raising the aggregate threat level for their declared enemies. Whether they consist of friends or foes, whether they are connected locally or online, these networks create a wellspring of support for jihadist organizations that may fluctuate in strength or change in character but never runs dry. \u003cem\u003eNexus of Global Jihad\u003c\/em\u003e identifies types of terrorist actors, the nature of their partnerships, and the environments in which they prosper to explain global jihadist terrorism's ongoing success and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNexus of Global Jihad\u003c\/em\u003e brings to light an emerging style of \"networked cooperation\" that works alongside interorganizational terrorist cooperation to establish bonds of varying depth and endurance. Case studies use recently declassified materials to illuminate al-Qaeda's dealings from Iran to the Arabian Peninsula and the informal actors that power the Sharia4 movement. The book proposes policies that increase intelligence gathering on informal terrorist actors, constrain enabling environments, and disrupt terrorist networks according to different types of cooperation. It is a vital text for strategists and scholars struggling to understand a growing spectrum of terrorist groups working together more effectively than ever before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Assaf Moghadam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231165366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231165365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Assaf Moghadam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443307229439,"sku":"9780231165365","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_edbc985e-6671-41cd-ae71-322192270747.jpg?v=1777204628","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nexus-of-global-jihad-assaf-moghadam-9780231165365","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
