具体描述

The violent actions of a few extremists can alter the course of history, yet there persists a yawning gap between the potential impact of these individuals and what we understand about them. In Engineers of Jihad, Diego Gambetta and Steffen Hertog uncover two unexpected facts, which they imaginatively leverage to narrow that gap: they find that a disproportionate share of Islamist radicals come from an engineering background, and that Islamist and right-wing extremism have more in common than either does with left-wing extremism, in which engineers are absent while social scientists and humanities students are prominent. Searching for an explanation, they tackle four general questions about extremism: Under which socioeconomic conditions do people join extremist groups? Does the profile of extremists reflect how they self-select into extremism or how groups recruit them? Does ideology matter in sorting who joins which group? Lastly, is there a mindset susceptible to certain types of extremism? Using rigorous methods and several new datasets, they explain the link between educational discipline and type of radicalism by looking at two key factors: the social mobility (or lack thereof) for engineers in the Muslim world, and a particular mindset seeking order and hierarchy that is found more frequently among engineers. Engineers’ presence in some extremist groups and not others, the authors argue, is a proxy for individual traits that may account for the much larger question of selective recruitment to radical activism. Opening up markedly new perspectives on the motivations of political violence, Engineers of Jihad yields unexpected answers about the nature and emergence of extremism.

读后感

什么造成了当今世界的恐怖主义？穆黑肯定会说是伊斯兰教，因为80%的恐(英)怖(雄)事迹是穆斯林发动的，虽然并非80%的穆斯林都是kb分子。同理，80%的艾滋病都是同性恋引起的，虽然并非80%的同性恋都有艾滋病。继续按这个道理顺下去，著名犯罪学家、经济学家Diego Gambetta告诉我...

好奇地翻了图表和结论。【从学科看，Jihad的反义词是left wing……？】

就工程师在伊斯兰极端组织中占大比例的现象，反驳了两个原因(random selection followed by diffusion 和technical skills)，提出两个猜想：1）工科生理性、单一的思维方式，对集权统治、理性治国的诉求。2）过高的期望与现实的落差

配着Krueger那本读，风味更佳。开脑洞部分比Krueger厉害。So the gist is that with reduced labor market opportunities, the opportunity cost of becoming a terrorist is lowered equalizes to the (expected in terms of beliefs/ideologies etc) gain, so hence engineers tend to become terrorists..
