Summary

This book explores the resurgence of terrorism and insurgency across Asia, particularly following the rise of the Islamic State in 2014.

The narrative highlights the deteriorating security landscape in countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan, and recognises the broader threat across Asia. It emphasises the importance of addressing fundamental political, economic, and social grievances underlying these rebellions, advocating for comprehensive solutions that include transnational cooperation and innovative strategies such as religious rehabilitation and reconciliation programmes.

Description

The rise of the Islamic State since 2014 has led to the re-emergence of terrorism as a serious security threat in Asia. Coupled with the ongoing terrorism and insurgency challenges from both radical religious extremists and ethno-nationalist insurgencies, it is clear that some parts of Asia remain mired in armed rebellion despite decades of nation-building.

While the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan has obviously deteriorated, there is also a growing terrorist challenge, in addition to armed insurgencies, in other parts of Asia. A common theme in armed rebellions in the region has been the lack of legitimacy of the state and the presence of fundamental causes stemming from political, economic or social grievances.

Addressing rebellion in the region, as discussed in Terrorism and Insurgency in Asia, requires a comprehensive approach involving transnational co-operation, addressing fundamental grievances, and using more innovative approaches, such as religious rehabilitation and reconciliation programmes.
