Evolution of a Global Nonstate Security Actor: Conceptualizing Radical Jihadist Terror

Open to the Public

A discussion of the dualistic image (state-centric/multi-centric) of current global affairs, within which a non-state security actor has emerged in this case, al Qaeda.

Date: Thu, Dec 16, 2004 Time: 12:15pm - 02:00pm Location: Littauer Building - Belfer Center Library, Room 369

A discussion of the dualistic image (state-centric/multi-centric) of current global affairs, within which a non-state security actor has emerged — in this case, al Qaeda. The talk will go on to locate the Jihadi movement as a nonstate security actor. The processes of this actor will then be explored by reflecting on the Istanbul 2003 bombings. Finally, possible counter strategies will be proposed.
