Initially, these groups aimed for large-scale, international attacks, but increased counter-terrorism efforts have fragmented their structures, leading to more localized and smaller-scale violence. This shift has also seen a rise in criminal activities among these groups to fund their operations. The report discusses the impact of these changes on Asian countries, with a focus on Southeast Asia, South Asia, and East Asia, which are home to a significant Muslim population. The success of extremist groups in conflicts like those in Syria and Afghanistan could inspire a resurgence of terrorism in Asia. New hotspots for radicalism are emerging, and international cooperation in counter-terrorism is increasing. The report also touches on the implications for Canada, which is enhancing its counter-terrorism strategies in Asia and may need to adapt to the changing landscape of terrorism.\\ \\ (Generated with the help of GPT-4) \\ =====Additional Viewpoints===== Categories: {{tag>2014_publication_year}} | {{tag>Asia_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>Canada_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>English_publication_language}} | {{tag>asia_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>canada_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>capacity-building}} | {{tag>counter-terrorism}} | {{tag>criminal_activities}} | {{tag>extremist_conflicts}} | {{tag>fragmentation}} | {{tag>international_cooperation}} | {{tag>islamic_terrorism}} | {{tag>localized_violence}} | {{tag>policy_challenges}} | {{tag>radicalism}} | {{tag>terrorism}} ~~DISCUSSION~~
