Description 118 pages ; 22 cm regular print Series Briefings [series] Briefings (Sydney, N.S.W.) Contents 1. The breakthrough -- 2. Understanding radical Islamism -- 3. Jemaah Islamiyah's struggle -- 4. The political struggle -- 5. Responding to radical Islamism Summary "In this timely book Greg Barton traces the religious, cultural and political development of JI, and argues that it has important features in common with other organisations linked to al-Qaeda. Based on extensive research in Indonesia, the book assesses the level of support for JI and examines the Indonesian government's success in dealing with the threat it poses. Barton argues that, while the Indonesian authorities reacted well to the events in Bali, their subsequent response has not been as effective as is commonly assumed. He analyses the recent election results and looks at the challenges facing the new Indonesian president."--BOOK JACKET Analysis Indonesia Jemaah Islamiyah Islamic fundamentalism Defence policy Elections, Overseas, 2004 Overseas item Notes Includes glossary Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Subject Jamaah Islamiyah (Indonesia) Jemaah Islamiyah (Organization) Islamic fundamentalism -- Southeast Asia.
