Özet: An understanding of religious fundamentalism as a source of conflict in the Middle East is significantly furthered by examining “asymmetrical threats” in other areas. This article suggests that a particular form of asymmetrical conflict (“Marginalized Violent Internal Conflict”[MVIC]) was proliferating well before September 11, 2001, and that examples appeared in Mexico and Egypt, as well as possibly in Nigeria, Chile and the Philippines. Arguing that the “War on Terrorism” may be the result of MVIC having been raised to the level of Marginalized Violent International Conflict, the author examines policy implications raised by the goal of global security.
