Violent Non-State Actors: From Anarchists to Jihadists(Routledge Studies on Challenges, Crises and Dissent in World)

Series: Routledge Studies on Challenges, Crises and Dissent in World

This book examines the characteristics and evolutionary dynamics of violent non-state actors, developing an autonomy, representation and influence framework to provide a comparative analysis of the late 19th/early 20th centuries Anarchist movement and the modern-day Jihadist network. With its longitudinal analysis, it also considers the role VNSAs may play in current and future global politics.
