"This Handbook provides the first in-depth analysis of non-violent extremism across different ideologies and geographic centres, a topic overshadowed until now by the political and academic focus on violent and jihadi extremism in the Global North. Whilst acknowledging the potentiality of non-violent extremism as a precursor to terrorism, this Handbook argues that non-violent extremism ought to be considered a stand-alone area of study. Focusing on Islamist, Buddhist, Hindu, far-right, far-left, environmentalist, and feminist manifestations, the Handbook discusses the ideological foundation of their 'war on ideas' against the prevailing socio-political and cultural systems in which they operate, as well as an empirical examination of their main claims and perspectives. This is supplemented by a truly global overview of non-violent extremist groups in Europe and the United States, but also in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East. The Handbook thus answers a call to decolonise knowledge that is especially prescient given both the complicity of non-violent extremists with authoritarian states and the dynamic of oppression towards more progressive groups in the Global South. The Handbook will appeal to those studying extremism, radicalisation, and terrorism and intersects several relevant disciplines, including social movement studies, political science, criminology, Islamic studies, and anthropology"--

Mit dem Olympia-Attentat von München 1972 wurde die Bundesrepublik Deutschland in der Wahrnehmung der Öffentlichkeit zum Schauplatz des Nahostkonflikts. Die Geiselnahme israelischer Sportler durch ein palästinensisches Kommando, die in einer gescheiterten Befreiungsaktion und einem Blutbad endete, war gleichwohl nur der vorläufige Höhepunkt einer Reihe spektakulärer Operationen auf europäischem Boden. Die deutsche Nahostpolitik musste in dieser dramatischen Ära mit einer Vielzahl sich überlagernder Konflikte fertigwerden: der Kalte Krieg, die Konkurrenz zur DDR im Nahen Osten, die Energieversorgung in der Ölkrise und das historische belastete Verhältnis zu Israel. Daniel Gerlach schildert die Strategien, Dilemmata und Rückschläge der Regierungen Kurt-Georg Kiesinger und Willy Brandt in einer diplomatisch verminten Weltregion.

"Settling Nature documents the widespread ecological warfare practiced by the state of Israel-leveraging nonhuman soldiers that are all the more effective because nature camouflages their tactical deployment as such. Drawing on interviews with Israel's nature officials and on observations of their work, Braverman examines the careful orchestration of this animated warfare by Israel's nature administration on both sides of the Green Line"--

"Upon their independence, Moroccan, Algerian, and Tunisian governments turned to the Global South and offered military and financial aid to Black liberation struggles. Tangier and Algiers attracted Black American and Caribbean artists eager to escape American white supremacy; Tunis hosted African filmmakers for the Journées Cinématographiques de Carthage; and young freedom fighters from across the African continent established military training camps in Morocco. North Africa became a haven for militant-artists, and the region reshaped postcolonial cultural discourse through the 1960s and 1970s. Maghreb Noir dives into the personal and political lives of these militant-artists, who collectively challenged the neo-colonialist structures and the authoritarianism of African states. Drawing on Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and English sources, as well as interviews with the artists themselves, Paraska Tolan-Szkilnik expands our understanding of Pan-Africanism geographically, linguistically, and temporally. This network of militant-artists departed from the racial solidarity extolled by many of their nationalist forefathers, instead following in the footsteps of their intellectual mentor, Frantz Fanon. They argued for the creation of a new ideology of continued revolution - one that was transnational, trans-racial, and in defiance of the emerging nation-states. Maghreb Noir establishes the importance of North Africa in nurturing these global connections - and uncovers a lost history of grassroots collaboration among militant-artists from across the globe"--

Combining constitutional and political theory with an in-depth case study of the German Constitutional Court, de Boer argues that national courts' review of European law can constrain democratic debate and risks taking sides in good faith political disagreements among elected legislators about constitutional questions relating to the EU.
