ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on network-based hybrid and post-network organizational forms. It refers this al-Qaeda-inspired transnational movement as the global jihad movement. The chapter explains the organizational patterns of terrorism at the highest global level of transnationalization and more specifically, on the global jihad movement with its unlimited, Universalist goals, outreach, and agenda is also merited by other considerations. It promoted the post-Qaeda interpretation of the main direction of the movement's transformation. The anti-terrorism meaning of bin Laden's death and its significance for the global jihad movement have been relatively limited. The striking and dynamic interdependence of mutually reinforcing ideological and organizational patterns is indispensable in the analysis of the evolution process of al-Qaeda-inspired movement. In terrorism studies, general shift towards networks is often interpreted as a sharp contrast between the old terrorism by hierarchical nationalist, leftwing or other terrorist groups and the new transnational terrorist networks.
