Looking through Jihadi Clusters: Explaining Jihadism in the West

Since the Islamic State lost control of its territorial caliphate in 2019, a series of publications have shed the light on a largely ignored phenomenon: the geographical formation of jihadist hotbeds and clusters in both Western and MENA countries. In this intervening period, affiliate and splinter groups of both the Islamic State and al-Qaeda remain significant and varied threats. To discuss these topics and more, this event will bring researchers who have been documenting and explaining this phenomenon as it has evolved in the years since the collapse of the Islamic State’s governed territory. Panelists will explore similarities, parallels and differences within each milieu, exploring the evolution of this trend as well as the counterterrorism policy implications for the United States and Europe.
