This issue of the Journal explores terrorist activities around the world and the strategies being pursued by the UK, Turkey and the US in order to address them. The text’s articles specifically focus on 1) the quantitative research that’s been done on jihadists who get suspended on Twitter and then reappear on the platform; 2) the geopolitical dimensions of Kenya’s proposed border wall with Somalia; 3) the US’ counterterrorism activities in Central America during 1980s; 4) the “bio-cognitive substrates of social-identity formation” in Islamic extremists; 5) a metrics-based analysis of terrorism concepts that are present in social media content; and 6) the notions of “blind acting out” and “phatic communication” in terrorist scenarios.
