Models of "soft power" of the network terrorist organizations (on examples of the "Islamic state", Al-Qaida, the Taliban and "Muslim Brotherhood")
This article is devoted to a comparative political analysis of the "soft power" models of the terrorist network on an example of the forbidden in the Russian Federation terrorist organizations and groups "Islamic State", Al-Qaida, Taliban and "Muslim Brotherhood". The author draws attention to the ideological and propagandist activities of terrorists from various multinational organizations and groups, using soft power to unite extremists, involve new adherents in terrorist activities and carry out media war with their ideological opponents (as with the governments of different countries. fighting against international terrorism and with their direct competitors from terrorists and Islamists). This soft power of terrorists does not repeat the forms and methods of the USA soft power, known to us from the works of American neo-liberals (J. Nye, R. Kohane etc.), but has its own model, existing in the form of a specific set of versions, each adapted to the ideology of the particular international terrorist group. ISIS, the Taliban, al-Qaida and the "Muslim Brotherhood" all have its model of soft power and these models are quite different from each other, even in its basis.
