This book of peer-reviewed short papers on methodological and applied statistics and demography is the second of four volumes from the 52nd Scientific Meeting of the Italian Statistical Society (SIS 2024), held in Bari, Italy, on June 17-20, 2024. It features invited contributions presented in the Solicited Sessions. The volumes address a large number of topics and applications of current interest. The topics covered include, but are not limited to, statistical theory and methods, sampling theory, Bayesian statistics, statistical modeling, computational statistics, classification, data analysis, gender statistics and applied statistics. The applications reflect new analyses in a wide variety of fields, including demography, psychometrics, education, business, economics, finance, law, and other social sciences and humanities, epidemiology, the life and health sciences as well as the environmental and natural sciences and engineering. This variety also demonstrates the important role of statistical science in addressing the societal and environmental challenges of sustainable development. One of the aims of the Italian Statistical Society (SIS) is to promote scientific activities for the development of statistical sciences. Its biennial international Scientific Meeting represents the Society’s largest event which brings together national and international researchers and professionals to exchange ideas and discuss recent advances and developments in theoretical and applied statistics.

Sommario/riassunto

"The world of Islamic fundamentalism has become, more or less, a daily preoccupation, not only of journalists and scholars, but, more importantly, of almost all governments and security services across the globe. This book presents a striking analysis of how and why Islamism and Jihadism have become such potent contemporary political forces, shedding new light on a much-misunderstood situation. This revised edition offers an analytical survey of the modern and contemporary Islamist movements by linking their emergence and potency to the historical background of Muslim societies and their encounter with Western globalism. Thus, it also locates the advent of new Islamist espousals of democratic governance. It includes an entirely new section dealing with post-1997 aspects, a section on al-Qa'ida and the aftermath of 9/11, as well as a discussion of the global reach of Islamism. This comprehensive volume explores the advent of a new wave of Islamism and its manifestations in Western countries,



concluding with an overall evaluation of the future prospects of Islamism and alternative Western policies ranging from direct confrontation to political dialogue."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
