Organizaciones terroristas yihadistas y colisión con intereses nacionales

Abstract

This article will analyse the implications of the struggle between the two greater jihadist groups, Daesh and Al Qaeda, on national interests. The analysis will be based on the application of Structured Analytical Techniques for Intelligence Analysis, starting from the study of factors on which the jihadist threat affects directly or indirectly, to demonstrate if there is a correlation between this confrontation and the achievement of objectives of interest to Spain. Though the application of Analytical Techniques is of greater value when an issue is addressed through a multidisciplinary group of experts, it is of great help when an analyst faces a problem individually, since among other results, it allows guiding the generation of indicators, identify potential crisis scenarios and support decision-making processes.
