This conference will explore how terrorist groups have learned from each other and/or from history by mimicking tactics or actively pursuing inter-organisational co-operation. By bringing together leading scholars in the field of international relations, security studies and history, as well as counter-terrorism practitioners, this conference will analyse the notion of ‘learning’ in a non-state capacity and address a number of the most substantial case studies that showcase the under-analysed process of learning and tactical transferral between and within terrorist groups.
