It covers various organizations, including the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic State, Jabhat al-Nusra, Hamas, Hizbullah, PKK, al-Shabab, and the Huthis, and shows how they relate to other key factors such as the unfinished business of colonial and postcolonial eras and tacit encouragement by regional powers. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 264 pages\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 July 2019\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe prevalence of violent non-state actors within political movements in the Middle East and the Horn of Africa has reached alarming levels, becoming almost endemic. This comprehensive book delves into the profound reasons behind their crucial role and explores the diverse ways in which they have evolved. By contextualizing them within the region, the book presents separate chapters that examine the various organizations currently active, including the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Jabhat al-Nusra, Hamas, Hizbullah, the PKK, al-Shabab, and the Huthis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile these groups may be relatively new, they are intricately linked to other significant factors such as the lingering consequences of colonialism and postcolonialism, as well as the tacit support provided by certain regional powers for the Wahhabi\/Salafi\/jihadi da'wa ideology. The remarkable diversity of violent non-state actors poses a challenge in categorizing them, as they encompass a wide range of movements, from national and transnational to religious and political. However, by examining their origins, supporters, and motivations, this book offers valuable insights into their pervasive presence in the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnderstanding the origins and drivers of violent non-state actors is essential for comprehending the complex dynamics of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of their role and sheds light on the various factors that contribute to their proliferation. By examining their strategies, tactics, and impact, it offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing these regions. As the world continues to grapple with the consequences of violent non-state actors, this book serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 526g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 243 x 21 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781788314312\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44094384963834,"sku":"9781788314312","price":45.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/9bc5e7ccb5a95e4cd92011a5f38d4348.jpg?v=1624928512","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/violent-radical-movements-in-the-arab-world-the-ideology-and-politics-of-non-state-actors","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
