The seventeen chapters in this yearbook examine terrorism developments and counterterrorism responses around the globe. More specifically, this 2020 edition considers three emerging themes in the current security environment—namely, the demise of the so-called Islamic State’s (IS) ‘caliphate’ and what that means globally and regionally for Australia; the increased threat from right-wing extremism; and the role of technology, particularly social media, in propagating violent extremist ideologies. It also includes thematic chapters on mental health, strategic policing, the media, the terror–crime nexus and terrorist innovation.
