Terrorist Threats in North Africa from a NATO Perspective available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. According to the editors of this book, North Africa has become a hotbed of terrorist activity in recent years, as demonstrated by several events in the region. Representing, as it does, a potential threat to NATO's southern flank, this area can no longer be ignored, they say. This book presents the proceedings of the NATO Centre of Excellence, Defence Against Terrorism (COE-DAT) Advanced Research Workshop entitled 'The Terrorist Threat in North Africa from a NATO Perspective', held in Ankara, Turkey, in the November 2013. Subjects covered include the changing nature of North African terrorism; the rise of Al Qaeda in North Africa; financing terrorism in North Africa; the legal framework of military operations against terrorism in North Africa and the relationship between international terrorism and terrorism in North Africa, among others. Also included in the book is the keynote address given by Prof. Yonah Alexander of the Inter-University Center for Terrorism Studies and entitled 'Terrorism in North Africa and the Sahel: Threats and Responses' The book provides insights to further the understanding of terrorism in North Africa, and will be of interest to all those involved in the development of counterterrorism policies to combat this threat.

Download and read online ebook NATO and the Greater Maghreb write by David Garcia Cantalapiedra. This book was released on 2022-09-01. NATO and the Greater Maghreb available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. NATO and the Greater Maghreb offers a distinctive focus and study of NATO’s future policy in North Africa and the Sahel after the new 2022 Strategic Concept, expected to be published during the next NATO Summit in Madrid. The book will use three main axes to frame the contributors’ analysis, which are not usually used together for analyzing NATO policy: Geopolitics, Great Power Competition, and Threats. These lenses create a distinctive approach to reviewing a Greater Mahgreb Regional Security Complex confronted with the necessities of a distinctive approach by NATO. The idea of MENA (Middle East and North Africa), still used by the EU and NATO is already obsolete for several reasons: first, it is no more possible to split West Africa geopolitically from North Africa and Sahel. Second, the action of terrorist groups such as Al Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, ISIS, and Boko Haram are not related to Middle East problems, nor strategies and policies necessaries to tackle them. Second, the difficulties in cooperation between these countries, the corruption fed by organized crime (above all cocaine trafficking) and the impact of desertization, makes it very difficult to establish sound strategies and policies for the area. Third, there is an increasing presence of Great Powers in the area, including Russia and China, Turkey, and some Gulf states with different goals and policies.

AGAINST ALL ODDS: RELATIONS BETWEEN NATO AND THE MENA REGION available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Middle East and North Africa might not be the first region that comes to mind when one contemplates the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). To many, the Alliance was founded largely to unite Europe and North America, and to counter threats emerging from the Soviet bloc. The end of the Cold War changed these assumptions-not least to be proven by NATO's Operation in Libya in 2011, sanctioned by the League of Arab States. In this monograph, Dr. Florence Gaub describes how the region has moved from the rim of the Alliance's security perspective toward a more nuanced vision that recognizes the region's role in an ever-changing and more-complex world. NATO has understood the security implications emerging from the changes taking place among its southern neighbors and the need for dialogue and cooperation. Dr. Gaub gives not only an overview of the different frameworks of cooperation that NATO has with the Middle East and North Africa, but also explains their evolution and potential.

NATO's Southern Flank Does Not Stop in North Africa available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "Daesh, or the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS), proved that the threat of jihadism transcends all boarders when it announced its intention to establish a worldwide caliphate on 29 June 2014. The following September, at the NATO Summit in Wales, the United States organized a 60-nation coalition to defeat Daesh. The danger posed by the group reached new heights in March 2015, with the induction of the Nigeria-based Boko Haram (BH) into the caliphate as 'the Islamic State's West Africa Province' (ISWAP) -- thus marking Daesh's first departure beyond the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Terrorism, specifically jihadist terrorism, has become increasingly prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa. Jihadist organizations are active in at least fourteen Sub-Saharan states and have known ties with their counterparts in the Sahel, North Africa, and the Middle East. Yet, insofar as it affects transatlantic security, terrorism continues to be treated as a threat emanating from countries in the MENA region. The 2014 Wales Summit declaration slightly mitigated the Alliance's limited focus by adding the Sahel to NATO's agenda for the first time. The Alliance has not, however, given due attention to the spread of terrorism in Sub-Saharan Africa, where much of the region is ripe for the cultivation of extremist ideologies. This paper follows from the contention that the threat of terrorism cannot be compartmentalized or studied in isolation. It looks at Sub-Saharan Africa as part of a globally networked world of transnational threats. Drawing on the relationship between Daesh and its 'wilayat' (province) in West Africa, this paper builds on the Wales Summit Declaration in arguing that instability and terrorism south of Sahel does constitute a threat to transatlantic security"--Pages 1-2.
