International Terrorism - WP
A New Composite Global Terrorism Threat to Western Societies from Pakistan? Making Sense of the January 2008 Suicide Bomb Plot in Barcelona (WP) WP 28/2010 - 2/8/2010 Fernando Reinares The actors behind the past twarthed attacks in the Spanish city denoted an intriguing combination which, indicative of the operational limitations faced by Al Qaeda and early manifestation of the Punjabi Taliban network, reflected an evolving terrorism threat to the West related with Pakistan.
Al-Qaeda and Afghanistan in Strategic Context: Counterinsurgency versus Counterterrorism (WP) WP 15/2010 - 17/5/2010 Sebastian L. v. Gorka This paper discusses how the US failed to adequately identify the nature of the conflict it was embarking upon in response to the 9/11 attacks, our flawed understanding of the enemy and the fact that today we are just beginning to appreciate the central role of religious ideology in this war. Should we continue to misunderstand these three realities of the post-9/11 world, success in Afghanistan and Pakistan will not be achievable.
Preparations for the 2010 FIFA World Cup: Vulnerability and Threat of Terrorism (WP) WP 14/2010 - 16/4/2010 Anneli Botha This working paper will provide an overview of the threats of terrorism associated with hosting a prominent sport event, while placing potential threats in context in South Africa; and an overview of preparations for the FIFA World Cup. Its aim is not to discourage visitors to come to South Africa, but rather to place the potential threat of terrorism in context.
Radicalisation in the Diaspora: Why Muslims in the West Attack Their Host Countries (WP) WP 9/2010 - 15/3/2010 Peter K. Waldmann While we now have a solid database on the processes of radicalisation of Muslims in the West, what we still lack is a theoretical framework that links the different pieces of empirical knowledge together. This working paper suggests that the diaspora concept could provide such a framework.
