Religion and the Radical Right in American Public Life
Religious movements and religious ideas have played important roles in the United States almost since the formation of the American republic. From those who sought to abolish slavery in the 19th century to the civil rights and anti-war movements of the 20th, Christian clergy and laymen claimed religious inspiration for their involvements. There is another side to this story, however. In addition to championing these progressive causes, Christian,…
Terrorism in an Era of Unconventional Warfare
Academic studies of terrorism and mass political violence have developed largely independently of one another. Insurgents, in contrast, have tended to incorporate terrorism tactics along with other types of unconventional warfare in their repertoire of action. This tendency has become more apparent among insurgents engaging in armed confrontations in the twenty-first century. In order to take account of this development, scholars and others inter…

The Cost of Terrorism
After Al Qaeda's destruction of the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001, many democracies reacted to the event, and to international terrorism in general, by passing laws restricting civil liberties and political rights, raising questions about the balance between security and liberty. Such laws have produced alarms among civil libertarians, worldwide. Are the alarms justified? In this article we analyze the relationship between the yearly nu…

Courts under threat
In recent years ‘Patriots’, Freemen, sovereign citizens and members of so‐called common law courts have come into conflict with federal, state and local authorities. The media, various watchdog organizations and the authorities themselves have drawn our attention to these radical right groups and the individuals belonging to them. This article tackles the problem from a different angle. It is based on the responses of a random sample of state and…
Terrorism and democracy
This paper is the second in a series of analyses which explore relationships between terrorism and democracy. In this instance, the authors use the Rand‐St Andrews Chronology of International Terrorism for 1994, as well as the US State Department's Patterns of Global Terrorism collection of events for 1995. The authors use these data sets to determine if there is a linkage between the occurrence of terrorist attacks and the type of incumbent poli…

Italian Communism in Crisis
Achille Occhetto's proposal to transform the Italian Communist Party (PCI) into a postcommunist leftist party provides an opportunity to test Hirschman's theory of organizational loyalty. Party members were given the choices of remaining loyal to a reconstituted party, voicing approval or disapproval over this proposal, or exiting the party. The hypotheses that exit and voice varied together and that a particular kind of loyalty inhibited exist w…
Petition-Signing in the 1968 Election
URING the early stages of the 1968 presidential election campaign, spokesmen for many national news media suggested that the facility with which supporters of George Wallace were able to get enough petition signatures to have his name placed on the ballot in state after state was a reflection of broadly based popular enthusiasm, especially in the North.'However, evidence from ear- lier social science research indicates that an individual who sign…
