1. The first is dedicated on the diffusion and apparent confusion created by the proliferation of groups, cells and “provinces” by prominent radical armed groups in the area.
2. The second tries to focus at a more global scale on the transnational nature of the phenomenon, considering its reverberations not only in South and Central Asia, but also in South East Asia and important areas of the Pacific, which is closely intertwined with Europe via the Eurasian space.
3. The third panel tries to tackle the difficult issue of terrorism funding. On the one hand new state and non-state sponsors have emerged in the Gulf and the Levant; on the other independent funding via legal, illegal and criminalised economic activities continues unabated.
