Jihadist terrorism is the most prominent subnational security threat of the twenty-first century. Jihadist terrorism catapulted to the international security agenda with Al Qaedas attack on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, and altered the terrorism landscape from that point. This subject will introduce the strategic and ideological foundations that motivate the Global Jihadist Movement. It will also explore the terrorist franchises throughout the Middle East, Africa, and South East Asia. This leads into a transnational threat analysis, focusing on contemporary groups such as Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Al Shabaab, and Islamic State - all of whom have the power to inspire terrorist attacks in the West.
