Abstract

Until 2020, the threat of international terrorist activities still not diminish, extremists accelerated their flight from the Middle East to many countries in Asia and Africa, and terrorist forces around China became extremely active, thus impacting on regional security. Therefore, the analysis of the development trend and characteristics of terrorist organizations in Asia is of great significance to the fight against terrorism in China. This paper analyzes the density and centrality of “terrorist organization-organization” and “terrorist organization-area of operation” networks in Asia by using UCINET based on the social network analysis method. The characteristics of the networked structure of terrorist organizations, the diversification of participants’ backgrounds, the increase in regional connectivity and the improvement of organizational planning capabilities were identified, and corresponding strategies were proposed as the theoretical support for counter-terrorism.
