Competición entre grandes potencias y militarización del espacio exterior/Great Powers Competition and Outer Space Militarization
El espacio ultraterrestre es cada vez más relevante para la conducción de las operaciones militares. Este artículo contextualiza la importancia que le conceden Estados Unidos, China, Rusia e India en el marco de las teorías estratégicas del poder espacial y en los nuevos conceptos militares relacionados con las operaciones en todos los dominios
International Competition Below the Threshold of War
Drawing on existing literature, this research offers a theoretical delineation of the gray zone conflict, that is, conflict below the threshold of armed conflict. It begins by identifying the characteristic features attributed to the gray zone to propose a definition of the concept. It then situates gray zone conflict within the framework of the International Relations theory of Realism before setting out the main lines of strategic action used. …
The Last Stand of Al Andalus Lessons on the Changing Nature of War from an Early Modern Islamic Insurgency
The present article pursues a two-fold purpose. The first is to identify elements of continuity throughout history in internal armed conflicts where state structures are still in the process of being formed or, if already consolidated, where they have suffered serious deterioration. The second is to present and analyze a case study that has received scant attention in scientific literature on insurgencies, namely, the War of the Alpujarras, which…
An analysis of the Jewish-Roman War (66-73 AD) using contemporary insurgency theory
The present article seeks to identify variables that explain the success or failure of insurgent groups by using contemporary theories of insurgency. It then applies those variables to interpret tentatively an insurgency from classical antiquity: the Jewish-Roman War of 66–73 A.D. Although the results of one single empirical case cannot be generalised, they nonetheless constitute a preliminary element for the construction of a broader theoretical…
El conflicto internacional en la zona gris
Este artículo ofrece una teorización del conflicto internacional en la zona gris, un término reciente en la literatura de estudios estratégicos. Para ello se delimita el concepto, identificando sus rasgos definitorios a partir de una revisión de la literatura existente. En segundo lugar, se enmarca el conflicto en la zona gris en la teoría del realismo ofensivo de John Mearsheimer, que estudia la política conflictiva entre grandes potencias y las…

The Evolution of the Structure of Jihadist Terrorism in Western Europe
This article studies the structure of jihadist terrorism in the West from the perspective of the existence or absence of links between grassroots militants and organizations such as Al Qaeda Central and its regional affiliates. It undertakes a comprehensive case study of jihadist militancy in a European country (Spain) over a period of almost two decades, from 1995 until December 2013. The study analyzes the results of 64 antiterrorist operations…
The Effectiveness of the Drone Campaign against Al Qaeda Central
This article examines the effects the drone strike campaign in Pakistan is having on Al Qaeda Central. To that end, it constructs a theoretical model to explain how the campaign is affecting Al Qaeda’s capacity to carry out terrorist attacks in the United States and Western Europe. Although the results of one single empirical case cannot be generalised, they nonetheless constitute a preliminary element for the construction of a broader theoretica…
Analysis of Jihadi Terrorism Incidents in Western Europe, 2001–2010
This article offers a descriptive analysis of jihadi terrorist activity in Western Europe during the years 2001–2010. Following collection and classification, the information has been analyzed using the following variables: target countries, terrorist method used, stays in training camps, links to organizations, and degree of completion of the terrorist incidents. Notes 1. Petter Nesser, “Chronology of Jihadism in Western Europe 1994–2007: Planne…
Radicalization in Prisons? Field Research in 25 Spanish Prisons
This article has two principal objectives: (1) to study the behavioral dimensions of Muslim prisoners which predict their Islamist radicalism and (2) to study whether the behavior manifested by them is higher in prisons with a greater concentration of Muslims and a higher presence of prisoners convicted for Islamist terrorism than in prisons with fewer Muslims and no convicted Islamist terrorists. We conclude that some Spanish prisons may provide…
Strengths and Weaknesses of Grassroot Jihadist Networks
Grass-roots jihadist networks represent a launch-pad for the Global Jihad Movement, particularly in Europe and the United States. This article explores the concept of a grass-roots jihadist network, the profile of its members, and what influence the network may have on key elements within the Global Jihad Movement. The article will also analyze in detail the strengths and weaknesses of these networks. To do so, it will use the Madrid bombings in …
Internet y actividades terroristas
This article analyses the internet functionality used by the terrorists responsible for the Madrid bombings of March 11, 2004. The computers and USB memory drives seized by the Spanish police form the main source for the analysis. This case study is contrasted with the contemporary theoretical framework of the relation between terrorism and the internet
Spain and Islamist Terrorism
The presence of jihadist networks in Spain on a permanent basis goes back to the early 1990s. From early on, the Spanish police and intelligence agencies monitored the activities of these groups, although the priority during this period in terms of focus and resources was the struggle against the terrorism of ETA. Following the attacks of 11 March 2004, Spain has put in place numerous measures to avoid a repeat of a similar tragedy. This article …
Analysis and Evolution of the Global Jihadist Movement Propaganda
The Global Jihadist Movement (GJM) has a series of well-defined objectives, which constitute the central points of their ideology. In the realization of these goals, propaganda and public communication play a central role. This article studies the evolution of the principal characteristics of GJM propaganda, analyzing over 2,000 documents issued by the GJM between 1996 and 2005
Mapping Jihadist Terrorism in Spain
The presence of radical Islamic networks in Spain can be traced back a decade prior to the attacks on Madrid in March 2004. This article intends to offer a panoramic view of the different groups that compose the Jihadist map in Spain. The activities, general profile of the members, and major structural characteristics of these networks are described. Ultimately, factors that could influence the future evolution of this phenomenon are outlined
Servicios de inteligencia y lucha antiterrorista
El terrorismo, y más concretamente el yihadismo global, se ha convertido en una de las principales amenazas violentas contra la seguridad de Estados Unidos y de Europa. Como consecuencia ha pasado a ocupar un lugar prioritario entre los temas de interés de los servicios de inteligencia. Este artículo describe en un primer epígrafe las características esenciales del terrorismo yihadista, con objeto de subrayar las similitudes y diferencias que pla…
Al-Qaeda and Western Islam1
The terrorism of Al-Qaeda could gravely endanger social co-existence in western countries with large Islamic communities. Al-Qaeda uses the presence of Muslims in Europe and the United States in order to hide itself, recruit new members and obtain aid. Even though the majority of the Muslims who live in the West reject terrorism, there exists proof that Al-Qaeda has managed to locate itself in minority sectors of Europe and America. The social al…
