| Summary |
The volume sheds light on the different dynamics that characterize the four countries to explain the presence or absence of transnational jihadist activity. The cases display a variation of trends: in some cases returnees from Iraq and Syria have been implicated in attacks in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines or in supporting local IS affiliates, in some cases these have been encouraged more directly by IS leadership, and again in other cases there have been no logistical or operational linkages between the core leadership and the local actors. The cases examined in the book can potentially teach us something about the linkage between local insurgency and transnational jihadism, as they cover three conflict areas where armed insurgencies have appeared: Thailand's southernmost provinces in Pattani, Mindanao and the Sulu islands in Bangsamoro in the Philippines, and Aceh in Indonesia |
