Good governance helps, indiscriminate repression backfires

24 May 2023

In a new journal article, Dino Krause examines how states may prevent al-Qaeda and IS from tapping into local conflicts.Although their organizational cores have suffered repeated military setbacks in recent years, al-Qaeda and IS continue to expand globally to new battlefields. They do so via establishing links with local armed groups, more recently especially in sub-Sahara Africa. In a new quantitative study, which has recently been published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution, Dino Krause examines why these transnational organizations are successful in expanding to some countries, but fail in doing so, despite repeated attempts, in other contexts.
