Central Asia in an Era of Disruptive Changes
The Central Asian states are facing a number of significant challenges. Regarding foreign and security policy, it is imperative that they redefine their role in response to Russia’s expansionist ambitions, while also defining their positions within the growing rivalries between China and the USA. Domestically, questions of both stability and societal change require reassessment, including the role that civil society actors can play. The question …
Die another day
In the form of an explorative empirical study, this paper deals with the reasons for the survival and demise of isolated Swiss ski lifts. For the first time, all isolated lifts documented in Switzerland have been recorded and coded according to a total of six conditions. Using a set-theoretical research method in the form of qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), the study aims to identify the necessary conditions and configurations of sufficien…
Civil Society and Patterns of Security in Central Asia
Since the national independence of the Central Asian countries in the early 1990s, there has been a tension between stability- and transformation-oriented rationalities, goals, and policies. However, the concurrent missions of political stability and societal transformation indicate a clear distinction between state and society. This idea of separating state and society is particularly strong with regard to security issues, but this strict separa…
How Islamist is the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG)? An ideological assessment
This article demonstrates that militant groups who base their actions on Islam do so for two reasons: Either they do in fact pursue Islamist objectives, or the groups use what appears to be an Islamist narrative in order to pursue goals which actually have no religious basis. In the first part, conceptual issues are discussed to differentiate these motivations and examining how they are implemented beyond rhetoric. In the second part, the concept…
An analysis of counterterrorism measures taken by Indonesia since the 2002 Bali bombings
This article analyzes counterterrorism (CT) measures that have been developed and implemented since the 2002 Bali attacks, paying special attention to the presidencies of Yudhoyono and Widodo. On the basis of anti-terrorism concepts, current findings of anti-terrorism research will be applied to the case of Indonesia, whereby we will distinguish between reactive and preventive measures and will show how they interact. Here, the revision of existi…
Peacebuilding through Militant Islamist Disengagement
This article analyses the Militant Islamist Disengagement of Egypt’s Al-Gama‘a al-Islamiyya while anchoring the disengagement topic in the discourse on peacebuilding and security. In this context, we will first examine external and internal factors that destabilised the Gama‘a to such an extent in the mid-1990s that the group was forced to find a new orientation in order to survive. Secondly, we will pay particular attention to the catalyst that …
A Conceptual Framework of Sunni Islamism
This article provides a systematic concept of Sunni Islamism that is both inclusive and operational. To achieve this, three aspects are considered: first, the proposed concept is defined according to the long-term goals and objectives of Islamism which unite the respective groups and individuals; second, since the methods used to implement Islamist goals are heterogeneous and include both violent and non-violent approaches, five different types o…
Nachdenken über Europa
Die Entgrenzung des Islamismus
Der gegenwärtige Islamismus weist zunehmend entgrenzte Züge auf. Im ersten Teil des Buches wird eine theoriebasierte Modellierung des Islamismus vorgenommen, seine Entgrenzungstendenz herausgearbeitet und eine akteursfokussierte Variantenanalyse anhand aktueller Fallbeispiele vorgenommen. Im zweiten Teil findet eine auf den indonesischen Islamismus fokussierte Diskussion statt, durch die die Zusammenhänge von allgemeinen und landesspezifischen En…
