Beskrivning
This new handbook is the first reference work to offer an overview of the problem of online violent extremism and possible solutions to this.This volume provides the reader with perspectives from the emerging multidisciplinary sub‑discipline of online violent extremism studies, combining historical context with contemporary case studies. Each chapter demonstrates, through its own lens and subject matter, how the myriads of digital platforms and their affordances, digital infrastructures, and the regulatory environment that sits behind them continue to shape violent extremism. Written by leading international experts and up‑and‑coming scholars, the 40 chapters are divided into four thematic sections: Part I, ‘Online Violent Extremism and Regulatory Responses’, begins by providing a conceptual overview of ‘online terrorism’ and ‘online extremism’, examining how the terms terrorism and extremism have been defined and interpreted in the online realm. Part II, ‘Research Design, Methodologies and Ethics’, provides theoretical and practical insights into conducting research in this area. Part III, ‘Online Violent Extremism’, provides an overview of the important platforms, online spaces, and emerging technologies in the field. Finally, Part IV, ‘Ideologies and Actors’, considers historical and contemporarily prominent ideologies, groups, movements, actors, and gender‑related issues, examining how they have utilised online spaces and digital technologies.This handbook will be of much interest to students of violent extremism, terrorism studies, criminology, security studies, and others, as well as policymakers, law enforcement, and practitioners.

“This phenomenal book showcases contributions from leading experts in online violent extremism, presenting the most up-to-date research and insights available for addressing today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape. It offers readers a clear and accessible guide to a very complex subject, making it an essential resource for anyone who wants to stay at the cutting edge of research in online violent extremism.”John Horgan, Department of Psychology, Georgia State University, USA“This essential handbook provides an expansive and timely analysis of the digital landscape, synthesising the latest evidence on diverse methodologies, online contexts, and emerging technologies into a single, definitive volume. Covering everything from research ethics to ideological drivers and platform-specific dynamics, it provides an unparalleled foundation for understanding the breadth of contemporary online violent extremism.”Sarah Marsden, Director, Handa Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of St Andrews, UK“A timely and authoritative contribution, it offers a sweeping, interdisciplinary examination of how digital technologies have reshaped extremist movements and the global response to them. Bridging theory, policy, and practice, it is an indispensable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to understand and anticipate the evolving dynamics of violent extremism in an increasingly complex online ecosystem.”Paul Gill, Professor in Security and Crime Science, UCL, UK“Earlier technological revolutions like the printing press and the mass communication of radio and television restructured both human consciousness and social realities. The digital age is doing it again, in breathtakingly complex ways. This brilliant handbook, with stunning contributions from world-leading scholars, illuminates not just how violent extremists have leveraged digital technologies, but how those technologies themselves have enabled new forms of violent extremism and new challenges for addressing the harms they promote. Violent extremism will never be the same again, and this collection helps us understand why. Essential reading for everyone interested in the nexus between violence, ideology, communication and human interactions with technology.”Michele Grossman, Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation, Deakin University, Australia“An absolutely stellar line-up of contributors have come together here to provide a wide-ranging and utterly comprehensive volume on online violent extremism. The result is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding and responding to this growing, critically important issue. Ignore at your peril.”Andrew Silke, Chair in Criminology, Royal Holloway, UK
