AU - Milbrandt, Dorothy TI - The Islamic State Long Game: : a Tripartite Analysis of Youth Radicalization and Indoctrination KW - Estado Islámico KW - Radicalismo KW - Adiestramiento KW - Jóvenes KW - Delincuencia juvenil N2 - Previous sociocultural research linked conditions in the Iraq conflict zone with factors known to be associated with youth violence and radicalization, supporting predictions of a future cohort of fighters that would be extremely aggressive, violent, and remorseless. The exacerbation of these conditions and intentional efforts by the Islamic State to indoctrinate and radicalize youth has resulted in the weaponization of children, creating a “perfect storm” of consequence and influence. Unless addressed effectively, this will represent a persistent, transgenerational capability in support of the Islamic State’s “long game.” UR - https://ctc.usma.edu/v2/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/CTC-Sentinel_Vol10Iss8-14.pdf ER -
