Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that social and political frustrations brought left-wing terrorists to the forefront of Europe after World War II. However, the writer notes that the political landscape basically made it more feasible for left-wing groups to join the democratic process rather than fight it. However, various right-wing groups evolved with their own agendas such as ethnic purification mirroring Hitler's philosophies. The writer discusses that unlike most of the left-wing groups, these radical right-wing terrorist groups still exist today throughout the world. The writer notes that there are many similarities between left-wing and right-wing terrorist organizations. This paper examines left-wing terrorism in Europe, the Japanese Red Army and neo-fascism groups that have existed to various degrees. Various trends and typologies are discussed noting the demise of most of these terrorist groups.

Left-Wing Terrorism in Europe
The Red Army Faction
The Demise of Other West European Terrorist Movements
The Japanese Red Army
Neo-Fascism Rejuvenates
Summary
From the Paper
" Hundreds of terrorist groups have been noted in Europe and throughout the world. There are common tactics that are adopted by these groups who mirror previous terrorist groups through various international training regimes. There is however, no terrorist conspiracy operating globally. Instead, these pockets of terrorist groups eventually dissolve as local authorities crack down as these groups lose public support. A trend of left-wing groups disappearing more than right-wing groups appears to be the norm as political pluralism removes the causes of the left-wing groups."

Abstract
The following paper defines the term 'terrorism' and makes specific reference to the September 11th attacks. It examines how combating and controlling terrorism requires new mechanisms of cooperation and suggests new strategies. The writer asserts that terrorism impacts on our lives greatly however people can not depart from their normal routines and hide inside their homes because then the terrorists will have won by crippling the population's way of life.
From the Paper
?We certainly lost our innocence on September 11th, but it seemed to generate a new humanity in this country. People came out of the corners of the country in droves to send their help in any way they could. Our hearts went out to all of those who lost their lives or loved ones. We suddenly had a new respect for those in uniform we normally take for granted, such as the policemen, firemen, and security guards who risk their lives everyday. While, terrorism has become a way of life for many in other parts of the world such as Israel, for the United States it still is difficult to accept. However, all in all, our lives continue much as before. We?re perhaps more cautious, more curious of strangers, and more inclined to take notice of oddities going on in our neighborhoods. And we may have to wait a little longer to board our planes, but complaining doesn?t seem to be in anyone?s vocabulary these days.?

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper states that one only has to look at ethnic strife and historic imperialism in the past to understand recent terrorist activities in the Balkans. The paper discusses the point that the foundation created by such events launched a widespread societal desire to have political and religious freedom, which in turn sparked the willingness to perform terrorist activities for that purpose. The paper continues by discussing the subject and events that led to terrorist activity.
From the Paper
"Recent terrorist events against United States interests throughout the world have caused Americans to take note and wonder what they ever did to deserve such hatred and anger. For the answer one only has to look at Islamic fundamentalist beliefs and groups to understand why the members of those groups believe it is appropriate and at times even God ordered to attack United States interests."

Terrorist Regime, 2003.
A look at the history of terrorism, the rules and principals that can be found in any terrorist organization and the international organization of terrorist groups.

Abstract
This paper examines how the term terrorist regime dates from the Reign of Terror (1793-94) in the French Revolution and how it has taken on additional meaning in the 20th century. It looks at how terrorism involves activities such as assassinations, bombings, random killings, and hijackings. Used for political, not military, purposes, and most typically by groups too weak to mount open assaults, it is a modern tool of the alienated, and its psychological impact on the public has increased because of extensive coverage by the media. The paper also provides a philosophical look at the rules and principals that can be found in any terrorist organization with a focus on specific groups.
Outline:
History
Rules and Principles
International Organization
From the Paper
"The first treaty signed and ratified by states that had to do with terrorism was in 1963 at the Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft. This treaty applies to "acts affecting in-flight safety; authorizes the aircraft commander to impose reasonable measures, including restraint, on any person he or she has reason to believe has committed or is about to commit such an act, when necessary to protect the safety of the aircraft; [and] requires contracting states to take custody of offenders and to return control of the aircraft to the lawful commander." Other conventions that combated terrorism in some way or another followed, which included: the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft, signed at the Hague on 16 December 1970.

International Terrorism, 2007.
A discussion of the reasons behind terrorism.

Abstract
This paper attempts to take an even-handed approach to understanding international terrorism. The author presents three examples of terrorism and shows why an organization would resort to terrorist activities. The types of terrorism discussed by the paper include ideological terrorism, terrorism for the liberation of an oppressed minority and state sponsored terrorism. The author concludes that international terrorism is motivated by an organization's inability to use traditional, accepted, and legitimate channels of activity to accomplish the political, ideological, or religious goals of the group.
From the Paper
"An example of ideological terrorism, the Baader-Meinhof group in Germany became a leading left wing group in West Germany. As West Germany was dominated by United States notions of democracy, the left wing Red Army Faction was thus going against the grain of society. Described by government forces as a terrorist group, it saw itself a military group who was forced to rely on urban guerilla tactics to achieve their aim. The roots of the organization were those who were originally students, but the opposition grew as Communism was outlawed and many ex-Nazi right-wingers came to assume political office. This growing threat of right wing influences in the government motivated the youth as did a series of inciting events including a death of a student, shot by a member of the military. The rising tension led to a strong left opposition and a right counter-response which led to the formation of the Red Army Faction. After training with the PLO, the Red Army Faction returned to stop the urban imperialistic course of Germany instigating a series of bank robberies and arson attacks. The actions of the Red Army faction culminated in the German Autumn in 1977 in which there were substantial amounts of deaths, an important hi-jacking with Arab ties, and the ultimately resulted in the death of many of the key members of the Baader-Meinhof Group. This time was a time of fear among Germans after World War II. The objectives were never clear, but the group was in opposition to the right wing tendencies of West German and was in support of a more leftist government. Thus it was an ideological war being fought that resulted in failure as there was fear, but not substantial gains made by the Red Army Faction. "

9/11 and International Relations, 2005.
Examines the September 11th terrorist attacks and later events through analyzing international relations on four different levels.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The terrorist attacks of 9/11 and subsequent attacks can be understood through a careful consideration of the four levels of analysis of international relations. The paper shows that the individual level of analysis allows us to better understand George W. Bush's reactions, while the domestic level of analysis provides an explanation for the country's lack of preparedness for 9/11. At the interstate level, the interaction of the United States with Islamic states and Israel can be linked to the terrorist actions. At a global level, gaps in wealth and technology can be seen to contribute to the terrorist attacks. The paper shows that, overall, the global level provides the most useful understanding of the attacks, although a simultaneous analysis of all four levels reveals a more complete understanding.
From the Paper
"Overall, it is this global level of analysis that seems to best facilitate understanding of the crisis. The global view provides some answers to the reactions of shock and disbelief that segments of the world could hate America so much that they would commit the acts of 9-11. At the same, time, the global level of analysis fails to give a really adequate understanding of America's response to the terrorist actions that is provided in the domestic view, or an understanding of the actions of individual actors revealed in an individual analysis."

International Relations, 2006.
A discussion about liberalism and realism and how they relate to international relations, especially with the current terrorist threat.
2,273 words (approx. 9.1 pages), 12 sources, MLA, £ 49.95

Abstract
The paper discusses the merits and flaws of liberalism, using negotiations, institutional measures, and other non-military means to achieve political goals; and realism, believing that a powerful military threat is the most effective method of influencing other states in the international arena. The paper examines how both schools of thought have had success in achieving their ideals. The paper analyzes the current military threats to the US, and how "soft power", a fusion of realism and liberalism, has been most effective in international relations. The paper further discusses how finding a middle ground between the two paradigms is vitally important in today's international climate, especially in light of the threats to the state. The paper concludes that an ability to address or reduce such a threat is imperative to U.S. national security, and neither liberalism nor realism alone has been able to provide this.
From the Paper
"Liberalism and realism proceed from different fundamental interpretations about the international system: assumptions about the identity of the other state actors , the relationship of those actors to both state institutions and international ones like the United Nations, and the determining factors of state relations with one another. Realists must take the liberal critique seriously, and vice versa; neither theory has been proven as superior thus far. This essay will examine the underlying failures of both schools of thought and examine the possibility that they are in actuality much closer to one another than originally perceived."

From the Paper
"The Author's Perspective: Activity Based Management Activity Based Management for Service Industries, Government Entities and Non-Profit Organizations focuses on providing information to managers that is vital to modern business concerned with cost management. The book discusses Activity Based Systems (ABS) that examine company profits in relation to activities generated by the organization. This process blends into the concept of Activity Based Costing (ABC), which allows management to comprehend profits that are derived from products currently in the market. As these elements are focused upon, Activity Based Management (ABM) then proceeds to determine which factors contributing to the organization are effective, and where costs can be reduced through Activity Based Budgeting (ABB). Proper budgeting through this system allows managers to plan the finances of the organization in a manner that will align the company with the competition, and provide for a stronger economic future (Brimson & Antos)."

Summary
From the Paper
"Israel truly has a strong military presence in the Middle East. This presence has been felt by Arab nations during various wars. The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) found that terrorist acts were the best means for attacking Israel. Under the leadership of Yasser Arafat, the PLO waged considerable attacks on Israel throughout the years. Israel fought back and weakened the PLO on numerous occasions. However, Arafat regrouped and obtained various allies such as German terrorists to bring the PLO to the forefront of international terrorism. This power has subsided with Arafat conducting peace talks; however, other terrorist groups have taken the place of the PLO."

Abstract
This paper examines international legal developments since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. The paper reveals that the most significant developments have been bitter disagreement within the United Nations Security Council over the legality of the American invasion of Iraq and disputes over the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. In both cases, American interpretations of international law and how to enforce it have not coincided with the interpretations of most of the international community.

The War in Iraq, 2007.
An analysis of whether the lack of terrorist activity in the US since the beginning of the war in Iraq, is due to the war or due to the improvement of the internal security of the US.

Abstract
This paper discusses whether the invasion of Iraq was justified and whether the war in Iraq has led to a decline in the threat of terrorism in America. It analyzes whether the lack of terrorist activity in the US since the beginning of the war is due to the war or due to the improvement of the internal security of the US. The paper discusses both sides of this debate.
From the Paper
"I conclude that the war in Iraq has little to do with the safety of America. According to US intelligence agencies, terrorist attacks can occur at any moment since the hatred against US is fueled by the war in Iraq. So, in fact, the war in Iraq might be the reason for another terrorist attack in America. Al Qaeda benefits greatly from the war in Iraq, as many Muslim opponents of the war might fall for the terrorist group's propaganda and support al Qaeda only because it fights against the "oppressive" United States (Benjamin, 2003). As I now see it, the war in Iraq might be a reason for the safety of US at home only due to the fact that it represents a battle field between terrorists and US - a preferred battle field for America."
