Abstract

Islamist violent extremist (IVE) groups are frequently involved in civil conflicts. Indeed, some groups owe their origins to conflict, and tens of thousands of Islamists have chosen to participate in conflicts taking place in foreign countries in the past 35 years. Increasingly, IVE groups appear to have the capacity to influence the conflicts they are involved in, and are influenced in turn by their experiences. As a result, for those working on conflict resolution and post-conflict reconstruction, the involvement of IVE groups raises questions of whether traditional responses remain adequate. Drawing on three country case studies – Nigeria, Kenya and Iraq/Syria, this article examines the similarities and differences between IVE groups and other conflict actors, and what this means for development, state-building and peacebuilding responses.

伊斯兰暴力极端主义:一种新的冲突形式还是一切如常?

伊斯兰暴力极端主义(IVE)组织经常卷入国内冲突。事实上，一些组织的起源是冲突，在过去的35年里，成千上万的伊斯兰主义者选择参与在国外发生的冲突。IVE团体似乎越来越有能力影响他们所参与的冲突，而反过来又受到他们的经验的影响。因此，对于那些从事冲突解决和冲突后重建工作的人来说，IVE团体的参与提出了传统反应是否仍然足够的问题。本文通过对尼日利亚、肯尼亚和伊拉克/叙利亚这三个国家的案例研究，探讨了IVE团体与其他冲突行为者之间的异同，以及这对发展、国家建设和和平建设的意义。

期刊介绍： Stability: International Journal of Security & Development is a fundamentally new kind of journal. Open-access, it publishes research quickly and free of charge in order to have a maximal impact upon policy and practice communities. It fills a crucial niche. Despite the allocation of significant policy attention and financial resources to a perceived relationship between development assistance, security and stability, a solid evidence base is still lacking. Research in this area, while growing rapidly, is scattered across journals focused upon broader topics such as international development, international relations and security studies. Accordingly, Stability''s objective is to: Foster an accessible and rigorous evidence base, clearly communicated and widely disseminated, to guide future thinking, policymaking and practice concerning communities and states experiencing widespread violence and conflict. The journal will accept submissions from a wide variety of disciplines, including development studies, international relations, politics, economics, anthropology, sociology, psychology and history, among others. In addition to focusing upon large-scale armed conflict and insurgencies, Stability will address the challenge posed by local and regional violence within ostensibly stable settings such as Mexico, Brazil, Russia, India, Indonesia and elsewhere.
