abstract="The London bombings in 2005 led to the perception that the terrorist threat had changed from external to internal. This became conceptualized shortly after as &quot;homegrown terrorism.&quot; This article deals with the meaning and scope of this phenomenon. We begin by tracing an ambiguity in the term &quot;homegrown,&quot; which is both about belonging in the West and autonomy from terrorist groups abroad. A quantitative study of Islamist terrorism in the West since 1989 reveals an increase in both internal and autonomous terrorism since 2003 and that most plots are now internal--but not autonomous. Finally we suggest that an increase in autonomous terrorism is a transitory phenomenon.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
