O fenómeno terrorista de inspiración xihadista na Unión Europea: unha Análise Comparativa Cualitativa

Abstract

A recente ola de atentados terroristas vividos en Europa e principalmente vinculados a grupos xihadistas sitúan ao terrorismo de inspiración relixiosa islámica como principal responsable do maior número de vítimas dentro das fronteiras da Unión nos últimos anos. Dende comezos desta década, aspectos como a radicalización relixiosa, a sucesión de ataques e a seguridade apareceron cada vez con mais forza nos consellos europeos. Tras os atentados en París de 2015, a UE decide reforzar a súa resposta e os seus esforzos de cooperación para responder a unha ameaza transfronteiriza e complexa. O seguinte traballo recollerá unha análise de factores de estudo do fenómeno terrorista de forma comparada baseada no Qualitative Comparative Analysis, presentando distintas configuracións causais que buscan explicar este fenómeno nos países da Unión Europea. O traballo aborda así a cuestión da incidencia do xihadismo no entorno europeo: a súa influencia real, condicionantes de dita influencia e posibles factores de risco a nivel de Estado; estudando así algunhas das posibles causas do terrorismo xihadista a escala europea.
