(Global Terrorism Index 2019) How much change should we really expect in global terrorism patterns and anti-terrorism after the demise of the physical core of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)1 in Syria and Iraq? On the basis of Global Terrorism Index data, this chapter explores the main layer of global terrorist activity. It also draws out key implications of a sharp contrast in global distribution of terrorism and a reverse disproportion in broader effects of terrorism on international politics and security for global antiterrorism.
See the expert contribution on p. 71 by Ekaterina Stepanova: “Global terrorism and anti-terrorism after ISIL: Two key aspects that will not change soon.”
