Abstract
There has been a movement in the domestic violent extremism space in which individuals are no longer only loyal to one extremist organization or even one specific ideology. Individuals are now able to be affiliated with multiple extremist organizations, making it harder for agencies and researchers to adapt. Alongside this shift, there has been an increase in the usage of gig work and temporary work. The similar shifts towards multiple-group and non-standardized membership necessitate updating models and frameworks for understanding what it means to be a member of an organization at large. To that aim, this article provides a review of the literature surrounding the parallels between the shifts toward the gig economy and lone actor domestic extremism.
期刊介绍:
Terrorism and insurgency are now the dominant forms of conflict in the world today. Fuelled by moribund peace processes, ethnic and religious strife, disputes over natural resources, and transnational organized crime, these longstanding security challenges have become even more violent and intractable: posing new threats to international peace and stability. Studies in Conflict and Terrorism aims to cast new light on the origins and implications of conflict in the 21st Century and to illuminate new approaches and solutions to countering the growth and escalation of contemporary sub-state violence.
