| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Ideological factors help to define the evolution of terrorist organisations, influenced by the domestic and global political context. Jacob Zenn, Atta Barkindo and Nicholas A Heras examine the ideological motivations that influenced the transformation of Boko Haram from local salafism to international jihadism. They seek to analyse the extent to which, in addition to local grievances and its own internal politics, the ideology of other transnational extremist organisations and Nigerian history and politics have influenced the ideological development of Boko Haram. |
