The region, which encompasses the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, Central Asia, and South Asia, has been plagued by economic and political uncertainty amidst dramatic shifts in the global power structure. With the pandemic now exacerbating the volatility in this already fragile region, the U.S.'s strategic objectives are rife for re-examination. A complicated stew of factors such as weakening of established governance systems, the emboldening of extremist individuals and groups through advances in digital technology, the humanitarian crises in Afghanistan and Syria, and the intensification of the great power competition with China and Russia are creating a fertile environment for the growth of violent extremist organizations (VEOs). Such organizations take advantage of vulnerable, aggrieved, and traumatized populations to fuel radicalization, recruitment, and unrest, which further undermine stability and the potential for peace and prosperity. While it is still early to fully understand how the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic will impact U.S. policy, this book provides a timely analysis of relevant dynamics such as popular radicalization, digital information ecosystems, networks of influence, and new capabilities to recognize and prepare for other such black swan events in the region. 001444173 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 9, 2022). 001444173 650_0 $$aPolitical stability$$zMiddle East. 001444173 650_0 $$aPolitical stability$$zHorn of Africa. 001444173 650_0 $$aPolitical stability$$zAsia, Central. 001444173 650_0 $$aPolitical stability$$zSouth Asia. 001444173 650_0 $$aBalance of power. 001444173 650_0 $$aGreat powers. 001444173 650_6 $$aStabilité politique$$zCorne de l'Afrique. 001444173 650_6 $$aStabilité politique$$zAsie centrale. 001444173 650_6 $$aStabilité politique$$zAsie méridionale. 001444173 650_6 $$aÉquilibre des puissances. 001444173 650_6 $$aGrandes puissances. 001444173 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001444173 7001_ $$aFarhadi, Adib,$$eeditor. 001444173 7001_ $$aMasys, Anthony,$$eeditor. 001444173 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tGreat power competition : Volume 2.$$dCham : Springer, 2022$$z9783030903893$$w(OCoLC)1295110869 001444173 852__ $$bebk 001444173 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-90390-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001444173 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1444173$$pGLOBAL_SET 001444173 980__ $$aBIB 001444173 980__ $$aEBOOK 001444173 982__ $$aEbook 001444173 983__ $$aOnline 001444173 994__ $$a92$$bISE
