    Abstract

    This webinar will address issues pertaining to the continued evolutions of extremism in both local and global contexts.

    Speakers will address the global jihad (in the form of ISIS and al-Qaeda) from the perspectives of geography and propaganda. The Taliban’s ascendance (indeed victory) in Afghanistan, together with its continued close ties to al-Qaeda, may well be seeing – and seeding – a resurgence of jihadist activity in South Asia (along with transnational linkages), despite Taliban disavowals. The revival of global jihadism may in time prove to be far broader than that, with worrying activity and attacks in Africa and elsewhere. Meanwhile, ISIS, which appeared to be in a state of strategic decline after the fall of Mosul and Raqqa, remains resilient and innovative in the battlefield of the mind.

    The possibility of a jihadist revival is of concern; but of equal import are the increasing number of pinpricks (which have nothing to do with Islamist extremism) felt around the world when it comes to attacks based on decentralised extremist thinking (some ideological, many not). Are these in fact the real future of global extremism? Or do all these coalesce in a manner that adds up to pretty much the same thing? This webinar does not offer definitive answers but promises food for thought for academics, practitioners and policymakers concerned with these issues.

In 2011, he spent several months as an analyst with Combined Joint Interagency Task Force-Shafafiyat at ISAF headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan, working for General H.R. McMaster, the former U.S. National Security Advisor, where he was responsible for analyzing criminal patronage networks in Afghanistan and how these networks fueled the insurgency. Clarke has a Ph.D. in international security policy from the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA).
