[SR: 5594431], Hardcover, [EAN: 9781843765820], Edward Elgar Pub, Edward Elgar Pub, Book, [PU: Edward Elgar Pub], Edward Elgar Pub, This important book examines why terrorism prevails in the otherwise stable and advanced democracies of Western Europe and why some countries have been more severely hit than others. Whilst Western Europe today seems relatively peaceful, some countries in this region have, in fact, experienced significantly high levels of terrorism for decades. Moreover, the threat has not only come from international terrorists operating in Europe but as a result of internal conflicts which have produced terrorist campaigns conducted by groups originating in the countries themselves. The author maps the trends in internal terrorism in eighteen Western European countries since 1950 and explains those trends, both from a theoretical and empirical perspective. It uses a unique data set called TWEED, which covers around 9000 terrorist attacks and records the activities of about 200 terrorist groups over the post-war period., 21, Reference, 11444, Almanacs & Yearbooks, 11448, Atlases & Maps, 2572, Careers, 11626, Catalogs & Directories, 11472, Consumer Guides, 11475, Dictionaries & Thesauruses, 11713, Encyclopedias & Subject Guides, 11823, English as a Second Language, 11761, Etiquette, 11773, Foreign Language Study & Reference, 11880, Genealogy, 11902, Quotations, 8975382011, Survival & Emergency Preparedness, 5267710011, Test Preparation, 11970, Words, Language & Grammar, 5267707011, Writing, Research & Publishing Guides, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 11232, Social Sciences, 3048861, Children's Studies, 13022421, Communication & Media Studies, 11005, Criminology, 11244, Customs & Traditions, 11247, Demography, 10555, Disaster Relief, 11251, Emigration & Immigration, 11256, Folklore & Mythology, 11258, Gender Studies, 11270, Gerontology, 10775, Holidays, 11272, Human Geography, 69845, Library & Information Science, 11986, Linguistics, 11274, Methodology, 16233621, Museum Studies & Museology, 11276, Philanthropy & Charity, 4556, Popular Culture, 11280, Pornography, 10576, Poverty, 11282, Reference, 11284, Research, 11286, Social Work, 11298, Specific Demographics, 11324, Urban Planning & Development, 3825161, Violence in Society, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 5571271011, European, 11093, International & World Politics, 5571255011, Politics & Government, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 11086, History & Theory, 16022621, Political Science, 5571255011, Politics & Government, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 747400, Terrorism, 5571258011, Specific Topics, 5571255011, Politics & Government, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 491472, Political History, 491464, Political Science, 468214, Social Sciences, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books<

'Jan Oskar Engene's book on terrorism in Western Europe is an analytical tour de force that supplies the badly needed macro-political dimension to comparing Western European systems with regard to the impact of terrorism in the years from 1950 to 1995. Based mainly on events data and casualty statistics, it is impeccably reasoned and carried out with panache.' - Peter H. Merkl, Professor Emeritus, Political Science, University of California, Santa Barbara, US 'Since "9-11" terrorism has become a hot topic. In Western Europe it has been simmering and bubbling up for a long time and invites therefore, indeed necessitates, wide-ranging comparative study based on solid empirical evidence collected over time. In this book Jan Oskar Engene has done exactly that. He generates valuable event data and investigates patterns of terrorism throughout Western Europe between 1950 and 1995. Through empirical analysis he also offers an explanation for why some Western European countries are more subject to terrorism than others. His view that terrorist acts are directed not simply against the state but also as a means of communication to the terrorists' audience of supporters and sympathisers is insightful.' - Rosemary H.T. O'Kane, University of Keele, UK This important book examines why terrorism prevails in the otherwise stable and advanced democracies of Western Europe and why some countries have been more severely hit than others.
