Stuart Elden has recently published an article in The Geographical Journal entitled "The Geopolitics of Boko Haram and Nigeria's 'War on Terror'" (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/geoj.12120/abstract). Alongside this he contributed a short piece to the Royal Geographical Society's 'Geography Directions' blog on the parallels between Boko Haram and Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (http://blog.geographydirections.com/2014/11/17/another-islamic-state-the-shifting-tactics-of-boko-haram/).

His work on this theme, which links to his wider historical and conceptual work on territory, was also featured in an article in Geographical Magazine (http://www.geographical.co.uk/worldwatch/geopolitics/item/394-the-winter-of-middle-east-discontent).
