- Synopsis
- Using and testing a conceptual model that draws on social science and particularly social movement theory, this volume examines public support for al-Qa’ida’s transnational jihadist movement, the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan, the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in Turkey, and the Maoist insurgency in Nepal. The authors discuss which factors were most salient across cases, how their importance varied in each case, and how this understanding can inform strategy.
