Perceptions of terrorist groups in conflict-affected states.

面对反恐措施，恐怖主义团体如何适应，如何在当地不受欢迎的情况下维持自己？该项目通过系统分析当地观察员如何了解面临重大恐怖活动的四个国家（也门，伊拉克，巴基斯坦和索马里）的极端主义团体来回答这个问题。这种比较分析将提供一个机会，评估当地知识作为一种抵抗恐怖主义的形式，从而产生新的方法来概念化和打击暴力极端主义。其他预期成果包括澳大利亚与受冲突影响国家之间建立新的合作研究网络、为研究人员创建新的数据集以及对研究生进行培训。

How do terrorist groups adapt in the face of counterterrorism measures and sustain themselves despite their lack of local popularity? This project answers this question through a systematic analysis of how local observers understand extremist groups in four states facing significant terrorist activities: Yemen, Iraq, Pakistan, and Somalia. This comparative analysis will provide an opportunity to assess local knowledge as a form of resistance to terrorism, thereby generating new approaches to conceptualising and countering violent extremism. Other expected outcomes include new collaborative research networks between Australia and conflict-affected states, the creation of new datasets for researchers, and training for research students.
