"Alla som vill uttala sig om den här konflikten kan med fördel börja här."Weekendavisen

När solens första strålar bryter horisonten samlas terroristerna i svärmar. Några ropar Allah Akhbar medan motorcyklarna virvlar upp dammoln på vägarna. Genom sprakande walkie-talkies får de den avgörande ordern: anfall. Så rullar de iväg, mot en dag som ska förändra allt.

Strax innan den 7 oktober 2023 är Magnus Ranstorp, en av Sveriges främsta experter på terrorism och våldsbejakande extremism, på plats i Israel för att delta i en konferens om säkerhetsläget i regionen. Flera högt uppsatta politiker medverkar. Fullt fokus är på Hizbollah. Hamas nämns inte alls. Veckor senare är katastrofen ett faktum, och Hamas har chockat Israel och hela världen med sin brutala terror.

I Hamas ger Ranstorp en djupgående och personlig analys av rörelsens historia. Han träffar organisationens högsta ledare och kastar nytt ljus på Hamas drivkrafter: från rötterna i Gaza till den våldsamma framväxten som en av de mest inflytelserika och kontroversiella aktörerna i Mellanöstern.

Frågor om brottslighet i Sverige är högaktuella i den svenska debatten och uppmärksammas även internationellt. I Norge och Danmark har begreppet det svenska tillståndet använts om Sverige som ett avskräckande exempel. I denna antologi samlas 22 forskare inom bland annat kriminologi, medicin, terrorforskning, medievetenskap, historia och statsvetenskap och ger sin bild av brottslighetens utveckling i Sverige, med särskilt fokus på våldsbrottslighet. Tillsammans ger de en bredare beskrivning av brottsproblematiken än den som vanligen förekommer i medierna och i den politiska debatten. Boken beskriver det dödliga skjutvapenvåldet och organiserad brottslighet men också andra former av brott, såsom våld i nära relationer, rån, sexuellt våld, våldsbejakande extremism, terrorism och ekonomisk brottslighet. En viktig aspekt är brottslighetens utveckling över tid – vilka typer av brott har ökat och vilka har inte? Boken bygger på både existerande och helt ny forskning. Den vänder sig till högskolestuderande inom samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen men även till politiker, journalister och, inte minst, den breda allmänheten.

Separatismen i Sverige

AvMauricio Mauricio,Robert Hannahm. fl.

Pocket, Svenska, 2025

89 kr

Skickas

Separatism är motsatsen till det öppna samhällets frihetsbejakande mångfald. Dess syfte är att skapa öar av enfald och ofrihet, ett motsamhälle där det råder en parallell maktordning. Separatister vill kontrollera: det egna territoriet, dess invånare, deras livsstil och tankevärldar.

Denna bok anlägger ett brett perspektiv på separatismen i ett svenskt sammanhang. Islamismen ges ett stort utrymme, men här uppmärksammas även andra religiösa inriktningar, klanvälde, hedersförtryckande miljöer, gangstergäng och andra former av separatism. Dessutom behandlas separatismens påverkan på det akademiska och politiska livet liksom dess koppling till social utsatthet, segregation och utanförskap.

Pocket, Svenska, 2024

I många skeenden som påverkat säkerhetsläget i världen de senaste 30 åren har Magnus Ranstorp haft ett finger med i spelet. Från hemliga uppdrag som medlare i Mellanöstern, ledande internationella forskaruppdrag, expert vid 11-septemberkommissionen till att stå öga mot öga med världens mest eftersökta terrorister.

Det offentliga intresset för terrorism följer i spåren av de fruktansvärda dåden, men Magnus Ranstorp har istället konsekvent försökt att se runt nästa hörn där ett hot kan ta form. Nu berättar han sin egen historia om uppdragen bakom terrorns frontlinje.

This book reinforces our knowledge and understanding of the problems involved in balancing human rights protection and security concerns, considering how these human rights issues have been raised by the various international debates and policy issues which have been created by the continuing global war on terrorism. In the shadow of 9/11 the threat of terrorism is an ever increasing global preoccupation. Terrorism and Human Rights discusses the effects of the legal and social aspects of terrorism by examining the relation between security issues and human rights from the angle of international organizations, political bodies and different countries. Some of the examples covered and which are examined in light of their approach and reaction to terrorism include the European Union, the UN, Russia and the United States.Previously published as a special issue of Terrorism and Political Violence, this volume will be useful for all students of security, politics and terrorism studies, but also for policy makers, legislators, and law enforcers.

This is the first book to address in depth the interplay between radicalisation and political violence in Europe, as well as the effectiveness of counter-measures. As evidenced from the multitude of intercepted plots across several European cities since 2001, the threat level and the intensity of the desire to perpetrate mass-casualty attacks within Europe is not diminishing. While violent radicalization has gradually moved to the top of the EU counterterrorism agenda, it has been accompanied by a relatively embryonic understanding about the processes and interplay of factors that contribute to radicalization, which are played out differently in cities like Paris, Rome, London and Copenhagen. Undoubtedly, there are common factors at the global and regional levels that facilitate radicalization, but it is also clear that radicalization is very context dependent. This book provides crucial insights into different ways to understand violent radicalization within national contexts and the challenges addressing the many pathways into terrorism inspired by al-Qaeda and other forms of Islamic extremism. This book will be of great interest to students of terrorism studies and political violence, counter-terrorism, EU politics, security studies and IR in general.Magnus Ranstorp is Research Director of the Center for Asymmetric Threat Studies at the Swedish National Defence College and a Member of EU Expert Groups on (Violent) Radicalisation. He has twenty years of experience in research on counterterrorism issues and testified at the 9/11 Commission Hearing.

In recent years, senior policy officials have highlighted increased signs of convergence between terrorism and unconventional (CBRN) weapons. Terrorism now involves technologies available to anyone, anywhere, anytime, deployed through innovative solutions. This indicates a new and more complex global security environment with increasing risks of terrorists trying to acquire and deploy a CBRN (Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear) attack. This book addresses the critical importance of understanding innovation and decision-making between terrorist groups and unconventional weapons, and the difficulty in pinpointing what factors may drive violence escalation. It also underscores the necessity to understand the complex interaction between terrorist group dynamics and decision-making behaviour in relation to old and new technologies. Unconventional Weapons and International Terrorism seeks to identify a set of early warnings and critical indicators for possible future terrorist efforts to acquire and utilize unconventional CBRN weapons as a means to pursue their goals. It also discusses the challenge for intelligence analysis in handling threat convergence in the context of globalisation. The book will be of great interest to students of terrorism studies, counter-terrorism, nuclear proliferation, security studies and IR in general.

Understanding Terrorism Innovation and Learning

This book examines the role of terrorist innovation and learning in theory and practice, and in the context of three specific EU case-studies.It is often said that terrorist groups are relatively conservative in character operating in a technological vacuum – relying almost exclusively on bombs and bullets. This observation masks increasing complexity and creativity and innovation within terrorist groups and one of the most distinguishing features of al-Qaeda’s terrorist operations is its propensity for remarkable innovation. This book examines how and why terrorist groups innovate more generally and al-Qaeda-related terrorist plots in Europe more specifically. The starting point for this book was twofold. Firstly to examine the issue of innovation and learning more generically both in theory, within specific themes and within the context of al-Qaeda’s influence on this process. Secondly, this book examines the evolution of specific al-Qaeda-related plots in three specific northern EU states – the United Kingdom, Denmark and Germany - where there has been a significant volume of planned, failed and executed terrorist plots. In particular, these case studies explore signs of innovation and learning.This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism and counter-terrorism, political violence, security studies and IR in general.

This book explores the online strategies and presence of Salafi-Jihadi actors in the Nordic as well as the international context. Global Salafi-jihadism has been at the epicentre of international focus during the past decade. This book explores how the Swedish and other Nordic Salafi-jihadist sympathisers have used social digital media to radicalise, recruit, and propagate followers in relation to foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) and online communities. The chapters in this volume unpack different perspectives of Salafi-jihadi communications strategies, as well as how the international Salafi-jihadi community has constantly reconfigured and adapted to changing security conditions. The case studies of the Nordics constitute a microcosm of wider Salafi-jihadi narratives in relation to the rise and fall of the Islamic State’s so-called ‘digital caliphate’.This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism studies, counter-extremism and counter-terrorism, social media and security studies.
