Working Paper 13/2017: ISIL
Dear Madam or Sir,
many terrorist attacks in Western states are attributed to the so-called Islamic State. In our latest Working Paper, Dr Ulf Brüggemann argues that the terrorist organization follows a logic of asymmetric war by applying a concept of decentralized jihad and significant media activities. As a consequence, he argues, more preventive measures are needed in order to deprive jihadism of its social breeding ground.
The Security Policy Working Papers are intended to stimulate debate and help explain current issues.
