Abstract
This presentation critically examines three approaches to the study of political
terrorism in Southeast Asia: international terrorism studies, regional security
studies, and country studies. International terrorism specialists place al Qaeda
at the center of analysis. Regional security analysts have uncritically accepted
this al Qaeda-centric paradigm. Country specialists initially denied there was
an international dimension to terrorism, particularly in the case of Indonesia.
Recent research by Indonesianists indicates the saliency of local over
international factors in explaining political terrorism in Southeast Asia.
