  One of the most puzzling developments since the watershed event of 9/11 and the onset of the U.S.-led Global War on Terror (GWOT) is the expansion of the jihadi movement in the Arab world. This has taken place despite serious efforts to prevent it from happening. Massive investments in counterterrorism and counterinsurgency by a U.S.-led international coalition, in cooperation with regional partners, have included the entire spectrum of instruments available in the state toolbox. This extensive and costly campaign notwithstanding, the past 15 years have witnessed a remarkable growth in jihadism as a rebel ideology, a military guerrilla force and a global terrorist menace. At the time of writing, "the Islamic State" is losing territory in its heartland in Syria and Iraq and in its main regional province in Libya. However, the organization has proved capable of orchestrating an unprecedented campaign of international terrorist violence (outside Iraq and Syria), claiming more than 1,200 lives on five continents between September 2014 and July 2016.2 As for the Middle East, a cursory look at key indicators of the strength of jihadism in the region over the past decade similarly confirms an ominous upward trend.

  Jihadism in Norway has witnessed a huge shift from consisting primarily of foreign ethnically homogenous networks with a low capacity for mobilization, to the current situation where a loose country-wide network of domestic extremists have demonstrated a considerable capacity for foreign fighter recruitment over the past four years. In this article we introduce a typology for better understanding how jihadism takes root in Europe’s periphery.

  De arabiske folkeopprørene i 2010 og 2011 som tvang flere av Midtøstens mest notoriske autokrater fra makten, ble av mange tolket som et skudd for baugen for al-Qaida og jihadistbevegelsen. Demonstrantene på Tahrirplassen i Kairo var ikke-voldelige demokratiaktivister som ropte sekulære slagord som «folket ønsker å velte regimet!» og «brød, frihet og sosial rettferdighet!». Etter et tiår med intenst mediefokus på krigen mot terror var det nå de sekulære demokratiforkjempernes sin tur. De var hovedrolleinnhaverne i et historisk drama der jihadistene ikke var stort annet enn marginale tilskuere. Flere Midtøstenkjennere tolket dette som et kraftig tilbakeslag for al-Qaida og dets slagord om at væpnet kamp er det eneste effektive virkemidlet for politisk endring. Drapet på al-Qaidas ubestridte leder Osama bin Laden i mai 2011 fremstod for flere som spikeren i likkista for terrornettverket: «Skuta synker og kapteinen er død» var en av kommentarene man kunne høre i ekspertmiljøet av jihadismekjennere. I september 2014, snart fire år etter starten på de arabiske folkeopprørene, er optimistismen fra 2011 fjernere enn noen gang. Ikke bare har jihadistbevegelsen overlevd den arabiske våren, men den har ekspandert og vunnet terreng i et omfang som de færreste kunne ha forestilt seg. Per medio 2014 har jihadistbevegelsen flere mann under våpen, større territoriell kontroll og bredere geografisk nedslagsfelt i Midtøsten enn noen gang tidligere. Langt fra å gjøre al-Qaida irrelevant ble folkerevolusjonene «en gave» til jihadistbevegelsen, hevder professor Marc Lynch ved Georgetown University. Hva har skjedd og hvordan kan man forklare dette dramatiske skiftet?

  With more than 35 years experience of jihadist activism, Abu Mus'ab al-Suri remains the foremost theoretician in the global jihadist movement today, despite his capture in Pakistan in late 2005. After having participated in the founding of Al-Qaeda inAfghanistan in 1988, al-Suri, whose real name is Mustafa Sethmarian Nasar, trained a whole generation of young jihadis at his camps in Afghanistan. When he moved back to Spain in the early 1990s, al-Suri took part in establishing Al-Qaeda networks in Europe. In the mid-1990s, he rose to prominence in jihadi circles as editor of the London-based bulletin of the Algerian Groupe Islamique Armee, the most deadly Islamist terrorist group operating in Europe at the time. Al-Suri later formed his own media centre and training camp in Taleban-ruled Afghanistan, to which he returned in 1998. Building on his extensive military experience from the Syrian Islamist insurgency in the early 1980s, he contributed decisively to formulating Al-Qaeda's global warfare strategy. Throughout his writings there is a desire to learn from past mistakes and rectify the course of the jihadi movement.His 1,600 page masterpiece, "The Global Islamic Resistance Call", outlines a broad strategy for the coming generation of Al-Qaeda, with a keen eye for the practical implementation of jihadi guerrilla warfare theories. His ideas of how to maximise the political impact of jihadi violence and how to build autonomous cells for 'individualised terrorism' have inspired many jihadi militants of today. The book includes a translation of two key chapters from al-Suri's seminal work "The Global Islamic Resistance Call."

  This essay presents a critical survey of the academic literature on the causes of domestic political violence and terrorism. Drawing on a broad specter of research on peace and civil conflict, this study focuses primarily on theories that seek to explain why some societies are more exposed to domestic terrorism than others, i.e. theories on individual, group and societal levels of analysis. The study underscores the importance of understanding terrorism in its socio-political context, identifying political and socio-economic conditions that are likely to generate high levels of terrorism. Being a relatively comprehensive survey of theories on the causes of terrorism, the study is presumably useful for students and scholars in the field of terrorism research, as well as for practitioners and policy-makers involved in planning long-term preventive and counter-terrorism strategies.
