Summary/Abstract: Jihadi terrorism may be understood as a military tool used for political and military purposes of an actor in international relations.

The author examines the strategic culture of global insurgency from various angles through Gray’s framework of seventeen dimensions of strategy. It is argued that the Global Insurgency operates on multiple levels of strategy with a high degree of coherence and with distinct strategic culture.
