The end of Jihadi Salafism? The religious governance of HTS, the Post-Jihadi rebel ruler in Northern Syria
Jihadis differentiate themselves from other Muslims by their demand for an Islamic state based on their interpretation of Islamic law as well as their legitimization of violence against Muslim domestic regimes and, occasionally, Western countries for supporting them. Over the past decade, they have increasingly governed civilians with harsh governance featuring physical punishments and discriminatory measures against women and religious minoritie…
From Jihad to Politics
The Syrian regime unleashed unprecedented violence to suppress large-scale non-violent protests amid the Arab uprisings. Hundreds of armed groups formed throughout the country to defend the protesters and fight back. However, in contrast to other conflicts previously dominated by al-Qaeda and Islamic State, the two largest Syrian Jihadi groups, Ahrar al-Sham and then Jabhat al-Nusra, rejected global jihad and began to cultivate new ties with the …
Syrian Jihadis’ reaction to the Gaza conflict
This article examines the reactions of Jihadis and former Jihadis in Syria to the ongoing war on Gaza. This issue is significant because it highlights how groups that initially had a unified stance on the eve of the Syrian conflict in 2011—marked by their opposition to Muslim regimes and a Salafi outlook – later fractured during the Syrian conflict, leading to divergent positions on the war on Gaza. Global Jihadis, including al-Qaeda and Islamic …
Can Jihadis’ Strategic Interests Trump Their Ideology? Foreign Support and Insurgent Survival in Syria
The role of ideology in civil wars is particularly contentious, especially when it comes to Jihadi insurgents.Ideology is one of these groups' defining characteristic, which questions what happens when Jihadis' ideological commitments contradicts their strategic interests.This article explores these tensions with a particular focus on the issue of foreign support for the Syrian insurgency after 2011.The article argues that ideology matters and ha…
Institutionalizing Violence
Institutionalizing Violence offers a detailed focus on the two most influential Egyptian jihadi groups—al-Jama‘a al-Islamiyya and Islamic Jihad. From the killing of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat in 1981 to their partial association with al-Qaeda in the 1990s, the two groups illustrate the range of choices that jihadis make overtime including creating political parties. Jerome Drevon argues that these groups’ comparative trajectories show that ji…
Redefining Global Jihad and Its Termination
The globalization of jihad has proceeded in several stages from the mobilization against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s to Islamic State’s current campaign. The end of global jihad is nonetheless less understood, including the conditions in which jihadi groups could reject al-Qaeda (AQ) or Islamic State (IS). This article examines this question through the trajectory of a former AQ franchise, jabhat al-nusra (JaN), that became hay’a…
How Global Jihad Relocalises and Where it Leads. The Case of HTS, the Former AQ Franchise in Syria
Engaging armed groups at the International Committee of the Red Cross
This article examines the presence of 605 armed groups in today's conflict environment by bringing new evidence based on internal research. It looks in particular at the way these non-State entities provide varying degrees of services to the population in the spaces that they control, and how this might impact the way a humanitarian organization like the ICRC engages with them in a dialogue over time. This model of analysis is then used to situat…
Can (Salafi) jihadi insurgents politicise and become pragmatic in civil wars? Social movement restraint in Ahrar al-Sham in Syria
Most research on jihadi groups examines their violent radicalisation. Insurgents that politicise in civil wars and become more pragmatic without renouncing violence are less understood. This article defines jihadi groups’ politicisation as the development of realistic tactical and strategic objectives, durable alliances with other actors including foreign states and non-state armed groups, and normalisation of their interactions with the populati…
The Constrained Institutionalization of Diverging Islamist Strategies
This research analyses the comparative institutionalization of the strategies of three major components of the Egyptian Islamist social movement family: the jihadis, the Muslim Brotherhood and the salafis. It uses historical institutionalism to amend rational choice paradigms and to investigate the constraints and opportunities posed by these actors’ past trajectories on their subsequent strategic choices. This article argues that 1981 and 2011 w…
Embracing Salafi Jihadism in Egypt and Mobilizing in the Syrian Jihad
This article investigates the adoption of Salafi jihadism by young Egyptians and its repercussions on their mobilization in the Syrian jihad after 2011. This research demonstrates that Salafi jihadis mostly were raised in religious families and argues that the post-9/11 US-led wars triggered the exploration of an alternative to non-jihadi Salafism. This exploration was facilitated by: (1) the inability of mainstream Salafism to face the post-9/11…

Assessing Islamist Armed Groups’ De-Radicalization in Egypt
The de-legitimization of Islamist armed violence has been central to non-military approaches to Middle Eastern conflicts. This so-called “war of ideas” notably invokes the renunciation of violence
The Emergence of Ex-Jihadi Political Parties in Post-Mubarak Egypt
Following the overthrow of Husni Mubarak, al-Gama‘a al-Islamiyya and members of Egyptian Islamic Jihad created two political parties. This article investigates these groups’ organizational dynamics and internal dialogues in order to uncover the rationale of their political participation after the January 2011 uprising and its internal ideational legitimization. Based on interviews with leaders and members of these two groups and their political p…
Democracy and Islamist Violence
This article explores the contentious relation between the absence of democracy in the Middle East and the use of armed violence by Islamist groups in light of the Arab Spring. Its main objective is to decipher the evolving positions of former and current groups who used or promoted violence and to relate them to broader academic debates on violence and democracy on the one hand, and deradicalization on the other. This research demonstrates that …
