ISLAMIST TERRORISM AND MILITANCY IN INDONESIA -...

Drawing upon the natural and social sciences  this book puts forth a provocative new argument
that the militant threat in Indonesia today emanates from a violent Islamist complex  adaptive
and self-organizing system - what some might term a 'super-organism.' It goes beyond the
standard ideological mantras and calls for fresh inter-disciplinary thinking to effectively
cope with the ever-mutating challenge of the issue. The book questions the widely assumed
belief that ideology is the root cause that explains why Indonesian Islamists radicalize into
violent extremism. In addition  it asks why despite years of intense security force pressure 
seemingly disparate militant cells keep 'popping up' like the proverbial hydra - and in the
apparent absence of a centralized coordinating body  nevertheless appear to display an organic
interconnectivity with one another. This book will be of interest to academics and students of
terrorism  religion and violence in the Southeast Asian region.
