Michael Fürstenberg untersucht in dieser Studie ausgehend von einem rationalistischen theoretischen Framework, welchen Einfluss externe und grenzüberschreitende Akteure auf die Beendigung von Bürgerkriegen ausüben. Er entwickelt dafür - ausgehend von der Bargaining-Theorie - ein prozessorientiertes Modell der Konfliktbeendigung und prüft die Auswirkungen transnationaler Faktoren mit Hilfe quantitativer Analyseinstrumente auf der Grundlage umfangreicher Daten zu bewaffneten Konflikten zwischen 1975 und 2010. Insgesamt zeigt sich, dass diese eine gewichtige Rolle für die Schaffung und Stabilisierung von Frieden in Krisenregionen spielen, dabei allerdings eine genaue Differenzierung wichtig ist.

"This volume helps us understand the transformations of terrorist organisations, and the conflicts they are involved in, by broadening the perspective on what is considered terrorist learning. Using a variety of methodological approaches and empirical data, the volume offers a look at the clandestine inner lives of groups from different continents and ideological backgrounds in order to explore from whom they learn and how, and what the outcomes are. Their internal and external interactions are examined within their socio-political contexts to illuminate how they adapt to challenges or fail to do so. Unpacking the question of 'how do terrorists learn' helps us to grasp not only changes of violent means of action but also of operational and strategic approaches and, ultimately, even transformations of the ends pursued. The chapters demonstrate that terrorist learning is not principally different from that of other human organisations. The contributors draw on conceptual frameworks of organizational learning, but also broaden the scope beyond the organizational framework to acknowledge the variety of forms of informal and decentralized learning characteristic of much contemporary terrorism. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism studies, violent extremism, organisational studies and International Relations"--

In the past, far-right aggression predominantly focused on national settings and street terror against minorities; today, however, it is increasingly embedded in global networks and acts within a strategic framework aimed at revolution, targeting the liberal order as such. Ideologically combining antisemitism, racism, and anti-feminism/anti-LGBTQI, adherents of this movement see modern societies as degenerate and weak, with the only solution being a violent collapse that they attempt to accelerate with their actions. The terrorist who attacked the synagogue and a kebab shop in Halle, Germany, in October 2019 clearly identified with this transnational community and situated his act as a continuation of a series of attacks inspired by white supremacy in the past decade. The common term 'lone wolf' for these kinds of terrorists is in that sense a misnomer, as they are embedded in digital 'wolf packs'. Although this movement is highly decentralized and heterogeneous, there are interactive processes that connect and shape the online milieu of extremists into more than the sum of its parts, forming a structure which facilitates a certain degree of cohesion, strategic agency, and learning. This paper uses the model of collective learning outside formal organizations to analyze how the revolutionary accelerationist right as a community of practice engages in generating collective identities and knowledge that are used in the service of their acts of death and destruction.
