Description

Islamic extremism in Southeast Asia has moved beyond a matter of local concern to one of global significance ?as the events of the past decade have so clearly demonstrated. Drawing on intensive on-the-ground investigation and interviews with key militants, Zachary Abuza explains the emergence of radical Islamist groups in the region, examines Al-Qaida's role as organizational catalyst, and explores individual and multilateral state responses to the growing ?and increasingly violent ?Islamic show more political consciousness. Abuza also analyzes state strategies for combating, co-opting, or coping with militant Islamist groups. A key question here is whether state actors are trying to resolve the root causes of Muslim disaffection ?or merely using the "war on terrorism" to suppress the symptoms. show less
