Reviews
“Szekely has written a spectacular book that explores the origins and consequences of the policy choices militant groups adopt. Examining the groups of the PLO, Amal, Hizbullah, and Hamas, Szekely argues that these groups must make strategic choices about winning support from domestic or international audiences. Groups that pursue an international strategy become more transnational in the long run. Those that adopt a domestic agenda enjoy local support, but their international influence is limited. Szekely presents a very convincing argument, with great attention to detail and a strong knowledgeable command of the nuances of her cases.” (Amaney Jamal, Edwards S. Sanford Professor of Politics, Princeton University, USA)
