Product Description
Indonesian authorities responded quickly to the Bali bombing, tracking down leading Jemaah Islamiyah figures and bringing them to trial. Despite a subsequent attack in Jakarta, the attention of many people in the West has shifted to the Middle East and potential threats to Europe. Yet JI has the potential to mount new terrorist attacks and destabilize the world's largest Muslim country.
Indonesian authorities responded quickly to the Bali bombing, tracking down leading Jemaah Islamiyah figures and bringing them to trial. Despite a subsequent attack in Jakarta, the attention of many people in the West has shifted to the Middle East and potential threats to Europe. Yet JI has the potential to mount new terrorist attacks and destabilize the world's largest Muslim country.
In this timely book Greg Barton traces the religious, cultural, and political development of JI, and argues that it has important features in common with other organizations linked to al-Qaeda. Based on extensive research in Indonesia, the book assesses the level of support for JI and the Indonesian government's success in dealing with the threat it poses. Barton argues that, while the Indonesian authorities reacted well to the events in Bali, their subsequent response has not been as effective as is commonly assumed. He analyzes the recent election results and looks at the challenges facing the new Indonesian president.
