Online Radicalisation – New Article in RUSI Journal

The April 2009 issue of the RUSI Journal arrived today and contains an article by yours truly. The editors eventually called it, ‘Regulating the ‘Dark Web’: How a Two-Fold Approach can Tackle Peer-to-Peer Radicalisation’, and it’s essentially a critique of techno-centric approaches to ‘online radicalisation’, a quick look at UK political discourse on the subject, and some policy suggestions. Anyone who read my ICSR report will be familiar with the territory but the RUSI Journal, being apparently the oldest journal of its type in the world, has a slightly different potential readership. Refreshes the parts other journals – i.e. academic ones – cannot reach (apologies to Heineken).

This issue has not yet been indexed by InformaWorld, so no DOI yet, but the entry page will be here for those with institutional subscriptions. Anyone with RUSI membership can start here. Unfortunately, due to copyright restrictions, I can’t distribute digital copies of the article.
