Russian Foreign Policy Management and Manipulation with the Soviet Successor States
Russia has been anxious to maintain its influence with the other successor states of the Soviet Union (the Near Abroad). It used a variety of methods, both overt and covert, to further its foreign policy objectives with these countries. Moscow has relied on traditional economic statecraft including trade manipulation, free trade arrangements, and currency linkages as well as ethnic appeals and propaganda/news manipulation to influence foreign aud…
Terrorism and tourism in the Caribbean: A regional analysis
Previous studies have found evidence that terrorism negatively impacted tourism in individual countries, but studies with larger number of countries have found less evidence for this negative linkage. The Caribbean tourist area provides an excellent region for a more nuanced analysis of the effects of terrorist on tourist visits. Evidence from analyses of selected Caribbean countries that rely on tourism indicated that terrorism did not affect to…
Globalization and the Economic Consequences of Terrorism
This book analyzes the effects of economic, social, and political disruptions that have come with integration into the global economy for countries in five different regions and the developing world a
The Spread of Authoritarian Regimes in Interwar Europe
A number of studies have found that a variety of political phenomena, including democracy, can spread through a diffusion process at the international level. It is also possible that non-democratic phenomena can follow a similar pattern. The spread of a number of different types of authoritarian regimes in Europe between the First World War and the Second World War provided a classic case to determine whether there were such patterns. In fact, th…
Risk Sensitivity and the Sikh Uprising in the Punjab
Risk sensitivity combined with prospect theory and framing concepts can be quite useful in explaining which individuals and groups can become radicalised and more likely to resort to terrorism to achieve their political and economic objectives. Such a radicalisation can occur with groups willing to use violence for major gains and for groups seeking to prevent significant losses of status or wealth. The Sikh uprising in the Punjab in the latter p…
Terrorism Analysis and Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project: The Missing Element
The decision in the case of Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project raised important issues about civil liberties in the United States (2010), including freedom of speech and freedom of association, in relation to U.S. foreign policy actions. While the decision has the potential to infringe on certain liberties, the decision itself was based on very limited information on the nature of terrorism, the foreign terrorist organizations involved, and the p…
How to Combat Terrorism: From Words to Political Participation
Both of these books in quite different ways are successful attempts to break new ground in the research on terrorism. What they do have in common is the fact that there are efforts to provide infor
Globalization, risk-taking and violence: Too much too soon in the late Roman Republic and pre-Renaissance Italian cities
Past research has found that globalization and political violence have been linked in both modern and less modern times. Normally, groups that have been disadvantaged or displaced by globalization are seen as responsible for these outbreaks of violence. In the case of the Late Republic of Rome and medieval Italy before the Renaissance, violence was actually prompted by major increases in wealth among those who benefited when control of the politi…
John Brown as guerrilla terrorist
John Brown is usually not considered to have been a terrorist, and even recent analyses of his activities consider him to be a guerrilla fighter or insurgent in his activities in Kansas. Brown, however, meets the criteria of a terrorist more than a guerrilla fighter when his activities in the Kansas Territory are considered. His raid on Harpers Ferry, however, is more in line with guerrilla operations or insurgent activities
The Foundations of Modern Terrorism: State, Society and the Dynamics of Political Violence

Terrorism in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Missing Data
Although the situation is improving, terrorist incidents in sub-Saharan Africa appear to have been underreported in the media and under recorded in the existing database. This situation results in part from the fact that media coverage of events in other parts of the world has been greater. Media outlets in Africa are fewer and less well-funded. It also has been dangerous to cover groups involved in terrorism. Some data is unreported because conv…

Terrorism: The Basics is an ideal starting point for anyone interested in one of the most discussed, written about and analysed aspects of modern life. Common misconceptions are dispelled as the authors provide clear and jargon-free answers to the big questions: What does terrorism involve? Who can be classified as a terrorist? What are terrorists trying to achieve? Who are the supporters of terrorism? Can there ever be an end to terrorist activi…
Interest Groups and Pro-Animal Rights Legislation
The American states have demonstrated varying levels of support for animal rights legislation. The activities of interest groups, including pressures from competing groups, help to explain the presence or absence of ten pro-animal regulations and laws. This article analyzes and ranks each of the fifty states with regard to ten key areas of animal protection and welfare legislation. The analysis reveals that states with a more agricultural economi…

Risk Sensitivity and Terrorism
One enduring question about terrorism is why individuals choose to join terrorist groups. Past studies have shown that terrorists are not always poor, and they can in fact come from more privileged groups in society. Risk sensitivity and prospect theory are approaches that can help explain some of the anomalies. They suggest that two types of group are likely to supply members for terrorist organizations in disproportionate numbers. One group con…

Emulation and Policy Adoptions in the Canadian Provinces
Previous research has analyzed the various characteristics associated with the adoption of policies by the Canadian provinces. Since a number of provinces have appeared as regional leaders in the adoption of these policies, there would seem to be an emulation effect among the provinces similar to that found for the adoption of policies by states in the United States. The provinces that demonstrated leadership varied to some extent, depending upon…

Regional Leaders in the Diffusion of Tort Innovations among the American States
Many studies have analyzed the diffusion of legislative policies, but relatively little work has been done on the spread ofjudicial innovations. An analysis of the spread of eight tort doctrines among the American states indicates that there were clear regional leaders, including some states that were not early adopters of the innovations but still served as leaders for their neighbors. There was little relationship between being a regional leade…

Change and Continuity in the Irish Urban System, 1966-81
The Irish urban system has evolved over time. Urban centres have moved up and down the urban hierarchy, and the delineation of urban spheres of influence for the top levels of the urban hierarchy in 1966, 1971 and 1981 indicates that hinterlands have also changed. New centres in the upper tiers of the hierarchy developed in areas where the hinterlands of the older centres in that tier had previously converged. The analysis of such spheres of infl…

Political Violence in the Republic of Rome: Nothing New under the Sun
At various times the Roman Republic faced outbreaks of domestic political violence, including riots and intimidation, assassinations and conspiracies to overthrow the government. Violence was particularly noticeable in the Early Republic and the Late Republic. These activities were quite similar to the terrorism and violence used by mobs and groups during the French Revolution and the tactics of fascists and leftists in Europe in the 1920s or 193…

Determinants of Population Growth in Urban Centres in the Republic of Ireland
Growth in urban places in Ireland from 1966 to 1991 has been greatly influenced by proximity to Dublin. In fact, the best predictor of growth has been such relative proximity. Government efforts to disperse growth to other areas of the Republic, however, have had some effects. Centres in the north-west and west of the country have grown more than would otherwise have been expected. While the growth in these areas may not be sustainable, the effec…

Community Context in the Spread of Voter Support for the Scottish Nationalist Party
C OMMUNITY context has been found to be a relevant factor in the spread of political attitudes and support for political parties in a variety of situtions. The present study examines the impact of community context on the spread of support for the Scottish Nationalist party (SNP) in the four British general elections of the 1970s.1 By-elections, notwithstanding their importance to third parties like the SNP, were excluded since personalities of c…
A Geographical Analysis of the Innovativeness of States
Previous research has indicated that emulation is one factor in the spread of policies among the American states. A network analysis was undertaken to identify the possible direct effects of innovative states on their neighbors as well as possible indirect influences on non-contiguous states. The resulting network indicates that some states are leaders for their neighbors and also appear to have additional effects of an indirect nature on more di…

British Trials of Irish Nationalist Defendants: The Quality of Justice Strained
In what came to be controversial cases in the 1970s, British courts convicted individuals involved with IRA bombing campaigns and sent them to prison. The Guildford Four, Maquire Seven, and Birmingham Six were all convicted with faulty evidence and/or coerced confessions. Obtaining convictions for the bombings was important for the British government and British public opinion, since the guilty persons were caught and punished. There are few indi…
The Trial of the Guildford Four: Government Error or Government Persecution
Trials involving suspects in IRA bombing campaigns in England had resulted in convictions achieved on the basis of insufficient evidence. The trials were by their nature political given the offences involved, but they still could have been fair proceedings for those accused of the crimes. Partisan trials, involving political matters, however, are inherently unfair proceedings for which governments have essentially predetermined that a conviction …
Terrorism in the Ancient World
While terrorism is not normally thought of as a phenomenon that was prevalent in the ancient world, there are at least some examples of it from early periods of history. There were secret societies in ancient China that worked against early dynasties, but their revolts involved conventional warfare, and there is no indication that anti-government activities involved the use of any terrorist techniques. 1 The clearest indications of early uses of …
