Political Parties and Terrorist Groups and Religious Fundamentalism and Political Extremism

Conciliation as Counter-Terrorist Strategy
Conventional wisdom suggests that regimes should never bargain with terrorists. This preference for coercive and repressive responses rests largely on rhetorical rather than analytical characterizations of the problem of terrorism. If we consider terrorism as one possible tactic available to a challenger group engaged in a political struggle we push the question of response back into the political context where it belongs. We argue that two major…

Antisystemic Movements
Black Education and the Dialectics of Transformation in South Africa, 1982-8
After yet another period of unrest and spreading resistance among the black majority, the Pretoria régime struck back in February 1988. Seventeen organisations that had manoeuvred precariously on the margins of legal toleration were summarily banned - that is, prohibited from 'carrying on or performing any activities or act whatever'-many of their leaders were detained, while the survivors were harried underground
Euphony and Cacophony in Policy Implementation
The Politics of Meaning
The Politics of Meaning
Organization and Explanation
At the core of most research programs lies a suggestive metaphor systematized into a model and then developed into an empirically testable theory. In organizational theory, machine, organic, and dramatic metaphors have abounded; however, the concerns of these metaphors may be subsumed by conceiving of organizations as explanatory structures. The suggestiveness of this new metaphor is illustrated by demonstrating how it represents fundamental orga…
The People's Cause
The Political Economy of No‐growth
Problems of scarcity generate critical political issues as advanced industrial societies shift away from growth‐oriented economies. This analysis recommends substituting more abundant political resources for scarce economic ones. Appropriate scenario resulting from these substitution patterns are subjected to speculative analysis
The phenomenology of vigilantism in contemporary America
Vigilante violence is studied, defined, and delineated from a phenomenological stance. An interpretation of American vigilantism is developed: violence is intended by the perpetrators to maintain and defend, rather than change, the established sociopolitical order. Four major types of vigilantism are discussed: (1) private, spontaneous vigilantism; 2) private, organized vigilantism; (3) official, spontaneous vigilantism; and (4) official, organiz…

Establishment violence
Transmitting the Nontransmissible The Function of Literature in the Pursuit of Social Knowledge
Development and Instability
Vigilantism
During the past decade a significant number of scholars have investigated the nature, causes, and prevention of social and political violence.1 Their primary interest, motivated perhaps by observations of revolutionary war in Asia and social turmoil in the United States, has been the study of violence aimed at changing the established order. Some of these scholars have developed sophisticated causal models in an attempt to identify the conditions…
Subjectivity and Typification
The Occult and Political Development
The Gold Coast under Colonial Rule
The subject of colonialism is still imbued with emotive overtones, and it is perhaps too early to expect complete agreement in the description and evaluation of the impact of colonial rule on Africa. This article utilizes an important indicator of government activity, public expenditure decisions, to aid in describing the nature of British rule in the Gold Coast from 1901 to 1939. The intention is twofold: first, to check the validity of certain …
