At a noon talk on 3 April 2018, Dr. Assaf Moghadam will discuss his new book Nexus of Global Jihad, which explores the evolution of cooperation among an increasingly diverse spectrum of terrorist actors, including states, organizations, networks, and terrorist entrepreneurs, as well as the implications for counterterrorism theory and policy. He’ll identify types of terrorist actors, the nature of their partnerships, and the environments in which they prosper to explain global jihadist terrorism's ongoing success and resilience.
