Mobilizing the Faithful

Militant Islamist Groups and their Constituencies

About this book

Militante islamistische Gruppen sind zentrale Akteure in zahlreichen kriegerischen Konflikten der Gegenwart. Wie sie entstehen und organisiert sind, erscheint meist rĂ€tselhaft. Der Band prĂ€sentiert einen neuen Ansatz, der solche Gruppen in Bezug setzt zu ihrem sozialen Umfeld. Basierend auf dem Vergleich zweier islamistischer Gewaltbewegungen – der Ă€gyptischen Gruppen al-Jamaa al-Islamiyya und al-Jihad sowie der libanesischen Hisbollah – zeigt der Autor, wie zentral der Einfluss des Umfelds auf das Verhalten militanter Gruppen ist. Er identifiziert typische Formen der UnterstĂŒtzung und Entwicklung, die ebenso zu Dynamiken der Entfremdung und Radikalisierung wie zu Konsolidierung und Begrenzung fĂŒhren können. Damit leistet der Band einen innovativen Beitrag fĂŒr die Analyse gegenwĂ€rtiger Gewaltkonflikte im Nahen und Mittleren Osten sowie in anderen Weltregionen.
