Radical Pathways: Understanding Muslim Radicalization in Indonesia: Praeger Security International

Autor Kumar K. Ramakrishna
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 mar 2009 – vârsta până la 17 ani
This book explores two of the most crucial areas of the war on terror: 1) why some Muslims turn to violent jihad, and 2) that process in the world's most populous Muslim nation, Indonesia. The recent history of terrorism in Indonesia has brought this country into the world spotlight: the Bali night club bombing by Islamists in 2002 was one of the worst terrorist attacks in history. The recent violence following the executions of three of the Bali bombers, together with a number of thwarted bomb plots, demonstrate the continuing danger posed by radicalized violent Islamists in the country. Written by one of Southeast Asias leading counter-terrorism experts, Radical Pathways offers innovative new perspectives on the sources of violent Muslim radicalization and what should be done to counter it.

Recenzii

The last chapter provides useful suggestions based on the British-Malaysian experience in countering a communist insurrection, using cognitive immunization, face-to-face interfaith activity, and a public diplomacy that integrates rhetoric and actual deeds. . . .The book is well produced with glossary, notes, and bibliography. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers, upper-division undergraduates, and professionals.
Radical Pathways is one of the first that focuses explicitly on the JI and one that specifically examines its success in recruiting new members. In doing so, the book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding about the causes of radicalization..Radical Pathways is a welcome addition not only for academics but policy practitioners as well.
