The paper also offers a theoretical framework to check on the set of stylized facts common and specific to em ...

L’émergence et l’expansion des groupes terroristes à caractère complexe, parfois rivaux les uns des autres, et se réclamant de l’islam radical ...

The emergence and expansion of terrorist groups with a complex character, which are sometimes rivals of each other and claiming to follow radical Islam, has incr ...
