Al-Qaeda: Moving on or Marching on?
Track |
- 9/11 Plus Ten
Tuesday, 31 May 2011, 11:00 - 12:30
Hosted by the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP)
This panel will examine and assess the state of Al-Qaeda close to ten years after the September 2001 attacks. Less active than its immediate post-9/11 heyday, Al-Qaeda has remained nonetheless a threat of the first order to the security of a large number of countries, notably through the adoption of a regionalization strategy and decentralized structure. Is Al-Qaeda – and its various franchises (in the Gulf, North Africa and Afghanistan) or inspired groups – declining or has it gathered newfound strength? What strategic conclusions can we draw from its transformation and what are the policy implications of such an evolution?
