Insurgent Terrorism

Intergroup Relationships and the Killing of Civilians

Beschreibung

This book uses Big Allied and Dangerous (BAAD) as the dataset for a modern and comprehensive exploration of why insurgent groups attack civilians, even though their existence depends on public support. The book examines this phenomenon in specific contexts, including schools, news media, and nonmilitary/nongovernment spaces designed for the general public.
