Description: This book examines a wide array of phenomena that arguably constitute the most noxious extreme terrifying murderous secretive authoritarian and/or anti - democratic aspects of national and international politics. Scholars should not ignore these "dark sides" of politics however unpleasant they may be since they influence the world in a multitude of harmful ways. The second volume in this two - volume collection focuses primarily on assorted religious extremists including apocalyptic millenarian cults Islamists and jihadist terrorist networks as well as CBRN (chemical biological radiological and nuclear) terrorism and the supposedly new "nexus" between organized criminal and extremist groups employing terrorist operational techniques. A range of global case studies are included most of which focus on the lesser known activities of certain religious extremist milieus. This collection should prove to be essential reading for students and researchers interested in understanding seemingly arcane but nonetheless important dimensions of recent historical and contemporary politics.
