Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement: A Case Study of a New Terrorist Organization in China

John Z. Wang

Department of Criminal justice California State University, Long Beach

The Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) was designated a terrorist organization by Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, China, the United States, and the United Nations in 2002. However, no systematic studies have been published on the new terrorist organization in Xinjiang, China. Using a case-study approach and interviews, this article attempts to provide information in terms of its historical evolution, related religious and ethnic issues, organizational agenda, activities, and role in the current international terrorist network. This article argues that better international cooperation and the improvement of social and religious policies will help curtail activities of the ETIM.

Key Words: religious terrorism • Eastern Turkistan Islamic movement • Xinjiang-Uygur region • Uygur • Turks
