Terrorism

The intractable problem of definition: how to define terrorism; what is terrorism?; terrorism and national security. International law: terrorism and humanitarian law - the debate over additional protocol I; the international community's "legal" response to terrorism; the legality of the use of armed force by Israel in Lebanon - June 1982. The right to rebel: the right to rebel; the use and abuse of political violence; the morality of terrorism. The tactics, theatre and terror of subversive violence: terrorism as a strategy of insurgency; terrorist targeting - tactics, trends and potentalities; terrorism and the mass media - a systematic analysis of symbiotic process; the terrorists' dilemmas - some implicit rules of the game; the victim of terrorism - psychiatric considerations. Rebellion in context: ETA - from secret army to social movement; the evolution, disintegration and possible reconstruction of the Northern Ireland constitution; the Saturday essay - what is terror?; individual responses to terrorism - the Italian case; the German Federal Republic's response and civil liberties; Sikh terrorism in the struggle for Khalistan; ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka and prospects of management - an empirical enquiry; Hizbollah organizations.
