Book Description
Available for the first time in English, this groundbreaking book is an in-depth investigation of the development of jihadism from the earliest years of Indonesian independence in the late 1940s to the terrorist bombings of the past decade. The Indonesian journalist Solahudin shows with rare clarity that Indonesia’s current struggle with terrorism has a long and complex history. The Roots of Terrorism in Indonesia is based on a remarkable array of documentary and oral sources, many of which have never before been publicly cited. Solahudin’s rigorous account fills many gaps in our knowledge of jihadist groups, how they interacted with the state and events abroad, and why they at times resorted to extreme violence, such as the 2002 Bali bombings.

Book Description
This groundbreaking book shows with rare clarity that Indonesia's current terrorist problems have a long and complex history. Based on a remarkable array of sources, many of which have never been publicly cited, Solahudin's rigorous account fills in many gaps in our knowledge of jihadist groups, how they interacted with the state and events abroad, and why they at times resorted to extreme violence, such as the 2002 Bali bombings. Dave McRae's translation offers a complete account of the development of jihadism from the earliest years of Indonesian independence to the terrorist bombings of the past decade, for an English audience. 'The book has become something of a phenomenon in Indonesia. It's the subject of television talk shows and public discussions in mosques and universities, copies are are circulating among former insurgents in West Java, and the police, intelligence agencies and military have bought up hundreds of copies. About the only person to have a negative reaction to the book so far is a JI leader - who was hurt because he wasn't interviewed.' - Sidney Jones, International Crisis Group 'A ground - breaking work that will have a major impact on how people view Indonesian jihadism.' - Dr Greg Fealy, ANU, leading Indonesia expert

Book Description
The emergence of the Islamic State (IS) movement in Indonesia in 2014 re-energized violent extremism in Indonesia. As a result of effective counterterrorism policing, however, IS networks have been decimated and the structure of jihadism in Indonesia has shifted from organizations to autonomous networks and cells, increasingly organized via the Internet. Although support for violent extremism in Indonesia remains marginal, cells of IS followers maintain a low-level capacity to conduct lethal attacks against civilian and government targets. Most IS operations in Indonesia are sporadic and low-level attacks against the Indonesian police. Religious minorities have also been high-profile targets, as in the Surabaya church suicide bombings of 13 May 2018. There are some indications, however, of militants' renewed interest in attacking foreign targets, such as tourists on the resort island of Bali.

Book Description
Drawing upon insights from the natural and social sciences, this book puts forth a provocative new argument that the violent Islamist threat in Indonesia today derives its stubborn resilience from being in essence a complex, adaptive and self-organizing system – or what some specialists might even call a super-organism. The book challenges the popular assumption that ideology is the root cause that explains why Indonesian Islamists radicalize into violent extremism. In addition it addresses why despite years of intense security force pressure, seemingly disparate militant cells keep ‘popping up’ like the proverbial hydra - and in the apparent absence of a centralized coordinating body, nevertheless appear to display an organic interconnectivity with one another. Going beyond standard ideological mantras the book argues that fresh inter-disciplinary thinking is needed to cope with the constantly mutating violent Islamist challenge in Indonesia, and puts forth a comprehensive strategy for doing so. It will be of interest to academics and students of terrorism, religion and violence in the Southeast Asian region.

Book Description
This book is a comparative study of terrorism and counterterrorism in Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. It explores the history and contemporary developments of terrorism, especially Islamist terrorism, in these two Sunni Muslim-majority countries. In doing so, it analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of governments’ policies, strategies, and models of counterterrorism, including terrorist rehabilitation and reintegration programs. In addition, the book also documents the opinions of Saudis and Indonesians to find societal voices on effective ways of combating violent extremism and discusses Saudi-Indonesian cooperation on counterterrorism, defense, and security issues. The book suggests that although particular Islamic texts, teachings, and discourses might influence radical behaviors and practices of some Muslim individuals and groupings, terrorism is beyond ideological, religious, and doctrinal issues. Therefore, multiple methods and strategies are needed to combat radicalism and create sustainable peace in society. The work will be is beneficial for both academic and non-academic communities, particularly students of conflict, violence, peacebuilding, and religious studies.

Book Description
Since 2003, the subject of Islam and terrorism in Indonesia has become more important as people and governments continue struggling to understand the nature and origins of militancy and how best to respond to it. What is really happening in Indonesia? Is there a regional axis of evil? To what extent is the regional terror group Jema'ah Islamiyah parochial, and to what extent does it reflect wider regional networks tracing their origins to al Qaeda? In particular, the history of Islam in Indonesia needs to be understood, and its relationship with the world of politics. This collection contributes to a better understanding of Indonesia and of Islam, and the relationship of both to regional and global stability.

Book Description
The attacks of the World Trade Center (WTC) in New york and the Pentagon in Washington on 11 September 2001, otherwise known as the 9/11 attacks, were considered to be acts of terrorism. Since then, the issue of terrorism is predominantly discussed in the international arena which includes Indonesia and the Philippines. Indeed, Indonesia and the Philippines experienced terrorism attacks before and after 9/11. In 2001 up to December 2004, there were 14 bombings in Indonesia which included the bombings in Bali, at the JW Marriot Hotel, and in front of the Australian Embassy in Jakarta. Meanwhile, the Philippines reported 25 bombing incidents since the 9/11 attack in 2001 until April 2003. They were among others, the 2 October 2002 bombing in Zamboanga City Sasa Wharf. Apart from bombings, the Philippines also experienced kidnapping as a mode of terrorism act. As counter terrorism response, both governments of Indonesia and the Philippines have taken policies and measures that would minimize if not eradicate the acts of terrorism. This study presented the historical roots of terrorism, and the profile of terrorist organizations, including suspected terrorists/terrorist groups considered to have link with the Al-Jama'ah Al-Islamiyah and the and the Al-Qaeda. It also gave a comparative analysis on policies and measures adopted by both countries vis-a-vis their effectiveness on the business sector. Primary date were collected through questionnaires and interviews of government officials in Indonesia and the Philippines who are directly involved in policies on counter terrorism. Also, the members of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and industry (KADIN) as well as other business people for the impact of counter terrorism policies on the business sector. The bombing and kidnapping perpetrators, presently detained in Muntinlupa at the Maximum Penalty Jail were also considered as respondents of the survey and were likewise given questionnaires. Secondary data were collected from related studies on the matter published on books, journals, and newspapers considered by the researcher for the study. Using the 'Macro-Causal Analysis' as part of a comparative historical analysis proposed by Skocpol, the findings of the study indicated that there were some similarities on the historical roots of terrorism in both countries which are: (1) the use of religion as part of their political ideology; and (2) the willingness to establish an Islamic state with the implementation of the Islamic Shari'a Law. The differences were discovered in the policies on counter terrorism in Indonesia and in the Philippines, due to different society background, the type of terrorist groups, the historical relationship of each country with other countries, and the foreign policy direction. Indonesia emphasized the lealistic aspects, repressive response and bilateral as well as multilateral cooperation. Whereas, the Philippines used military force, repressive response, conciliatory process, legalistic aspects as well as through bilateral relations especially with the US and multilateral cooperation. In finding out the effectiveness of counter terrorism policies in the business sector, the researcher used four (4) indicators i.e. whether the policies on counter terrorism would (1) lessen the frequency of terrorist attacks; (2) increase business activities; (3) prevent the capital flight to overseas; and, (4) increase the flow of foreign direct investments. The result is hypothesized that for Indonesia, counter, counter terrorism policies are not the only determinant to improve its economic condition. Currently, Indonesia is still recovering from the pangs of the 1997 Asian economic crisis. On the Philippine side, it is predicted that its policies on counter terrorism have a lot of impact for the betterment of the business sector.

Book Description
Political Islam and Violence in Indonesiapresents a penetrating new investigation of religious radicalism in the largest Muslim country in the world. Indonesia is a country long known for its diversity and tolerant brand of Islam. However, since the fall of Suharto, a more intolerant form of Islam has been growing, one whose adherents have carried out terrorist attacks, waged sectarian war, and voiced strident anti-Western rhetoric. Zachary Abuza’s unique analysis of radical Islam draws upon primary documents such as Jemaah Islamiyah’s operations manual, interviews, and recorded testimonies of politicians, religious figures, and known militants, as well as personal interviews with numerous security and intelligence experts in Indonesia and elsewhere, to paint a picture at once guardedly optimistic about the future of Indonesian democracy and concerned about the increasing role of conservative and radical Islam in Indonesian society. This book will be of great interest to students of Indonesian politics, Asian studies, political violence and security studies in general.
