Contemporary Terrorism
Kooperationsprojekt mit dem Institut d'Hautes Études de Sécurité, Paris (INHES) Unterstützt von der EU-Kommission (Direction Générale Justice, Liberté et Sécurité 2004; AGIS)
This European project will analyse the current, radical Islamic, forms of terrorism in Europe by comparing them to older - revolutionary or separatist - forms of terrorism. By mobilising accumulated knowledge about already well-researched forms of terrorism (violent separatism, revolutionary terrorism, state terrorism, etc.), the terrorist "expressions" of certain radical Islamic organisations, often presented as "original" or new, will be investigated. The project will bring together scholars from various fields (sociology, political science, economics, psychology) and state security officials (police, judiciary and intelligence).
Laufzeit: 2004-2006.
