Sicurezza Terrorismo e Società 7/2018

About this book

Sicurezza, Terrorismo e Società ( Security, Terrorism and Society) è una rivista scientifica online che intende promuovere una riflessione sui numerosi aspetti che caratterizzano la dimensione "sicurezza" nel mondo globale, con particolare attenzione alle derive di tipo terroristico, senza nessuna preclusione culturale. Lo scopo della rivista è di promuovere il dialogo tra academici, analisti e policy maker sui temi della sicurezza e del rischio nella società contemporanea.
La prospettiva assunta è quella propria delle scienze sociali, con le quali si confrontano e si combinano competenze, antropologiche, comunicative, economiche, giuridiche, politologiche, sociologiche e tecnologiche. Si tratta pertanto di un approccio multidisciplinare considerato necessario per affrontare sia sul piano teorico sia sul piano empirico le nuove sfide del XXI Secolo.
I contributi di riflessione e analisi sono indirizzati ad approfondire i temi del crisis management, nuove tecnologie, sicurezza, sorveglianza e terrorismo.

Abstract

The globalized and fragmented terrorism nowadays, has become multipolar and extremely dynamic especially with the advent of self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS). The Information Warfare is always a primary source for the information management in the hybrid warfare, thus it is essential to elaborate on the study of terrorist organizations in relation to their command and control systems. This research attempts to provide a better understanding of the command and control and the terrorist networks utilizing two case studies: Paris and Brussels terrorist attacks perpetrated by ISIS’ operatives. This study applies a multi-level social network analysis (SNA) in order to analyze the functional and morphological structure of the network that allowed the perpetration of the attacks. The relational data used were managed through the open source intelligence process. By SNA, the local and global analysis reveals that the entire network behind the attacks has a pattern which tends to be structured as a hybrid organization: an ensemble of a traditional hierarchical structure and a fully-connected organization. The functional analysis reveals the existence of a strict and hierarchical decision-making system in which the command function was exercised. The command function was based on the capabilities and roles of several key players which are emerged as crucial for the network structure and for the planning of terrorist attacks.

Abstract

Il terrorismo di oggi è frammentato e globalizzato e successivamente all’avvento dell’autoproclamato Stato Islamico (ISIS) è divenuto multipolare, estremamente dinamico ed in costante cambiamento. All’interno di questo quadro bellico la cosiddetta Information Warfare diviene sempre più primaria, per questo è essenziale approfondire lo studio dei network terroristici in funzione dei sistemi di comando e controllo. Questa ricerca tenta di fornire una maggiore comprensione del comando e del controllo utilizzando due casi di studio: gli attentati terroristici di Parigi e Bruxelles compiuti e rivendicati da ISIS. Questo studio con l’applicazione della social network analysis (SNA) analizza la struttura funzionale e morfologica della rete che ha operato per l’attuazione degli attacchi. A tale scopo, i dati relazionali utilizzati per l’analisi sono stati raccolti attraverso un processo di open source intelligence. Utilizzando la SNA, l’analisi locale e globale ha rivelato che la rete antistante gli attacchi presentava un pattern molto simile ad una struttura ibrida, in altre parole un mix tra una struttura gerarchica tradizio...
