Combatentes terroristas estrangeiros. Considerações sobre o perfil múltiplo
Abstract (en)
Given the difficulty of finding a profile that defines the generality of foreign terrorist fighters and considering the specific case of Al Qaeda and Dáesh, in the framework of the conflict of the war in Syria and Iraq, this paper studies how to dissociate this profile into a series of much more concrete and definable sub-profiles. In these sub-profiles, defined based on characteristics that present a low sensitivity to the inevitable variations that arise associated with the increase in the number of individuals over time, certain matrix analysis techniques can already be applied, from which certain conclusions can be observed.

Ante la dificultad de encontrar un perfil que defina la generalidad de los combatientes terroristas extranjeros y, teniendo en cuenta el caso específico de Al Qaeda y el Dáesh, en el marco del conflicto de la guerra de Siria e Irak, este trabajo se enfoca en la manera de disociar dicho perfil en una serie de subperfiles más concretos y definibles. Estos subperfiles, conceptualizados con base en características poco sensibles a las variaciones inevitables que surgen con el aumento en el número de individuos a lo largo del tiempo, permiten la aplicación de técnicas de análisis de tipo matricial, a partir de las cuales puedan plantearse algunas conclusiones.
