Young, Ph.D. Dean of the School of International Service Date 2019 American University Washington, D.C. 20016 © COPYRIGHT by Tyler Evans 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED To Ruth REBEL FRATRICIDE IN STRONG STATES: INFIGHTING IN NORTHERN IRELAND’S REPUBLICAN INSURGENCY AND THE KURDISH REBELLION IN TURKEY BY Tyler Evans ABSTRACT Why do rebels sometimes go to war with each other, weakening their position against their common enemy, the state? This dissertation compares two cases of intra-rebel war that pose an especially difficult puzzle for existing theories of intra-rebel war: the fighting between the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA in Belfast (1969-1980) and war among Kurdish revolutionaries in Turkey (1974-1980). These two cases are puzzling because both occurred in areas where the state was strong, and therefore able to capitalize operationally and politically on rebel fratricide. By comparing these two cases, this dissertation argues that broadly similar causal mechanisms can help to explain these intra-rebel wars. In both cases, rebel organizations were shaped by their involvement in defensive violence in response to repression from the state and state-aligned attackers. Learning to counteract this violence changed the operational and cultural character of these organizations, with downstream effects on how these organizations strategically appraised the costs and benefits of using violence against rivals.

Tiocfaidh Ár Lá (Our Day Will Come): Negotiating the Cultural Politics of Citizenship, Heritage, and Identity in Northern Ireland Abstract Fifteen years after the Good Friday Agreement ended thirty years of violence in Northern Ireland, people still grapple with peace process implementation. Many within the Catholic minority continue their hopes for a united Ireland, free from British hegemony, refusing to accept they are citizens of the United Kingdom. In the border town of Strabane, County Tyrone, the remembered past plays a dynamic role in how people live in the present, envision their future, and pass it on to younger generations. During the Troubles, members of this republican community were either volunteers in the Irish Republican Army (IRA) or active supporters in what they considered a struggle for civil rights and a fight against British occupation. The ambush and deaths of three local lads by Crown Forces in 1985 was a pivotal event that inspired a greater commitment to opposing British rule, particularly through the expression and performance of their Irish and republican identity, using tangible and intangible symbols.

  • The Troubles in Northern Ireland and Theories of Social Movements
    11 PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Bosi & De Fazio (eds) Bosi Fazio & De and Theories of of Theories and in Northern Ireland The Troubles Social Movements Social Edited by Lorenzo Bosi and Gianluca De Fazio The Troubles in Northern Ireland and Theories of Social Movements The Troubles in Northern Ireland and Theories of Social Movements Protest and Social Movements Recent years have seen an explosion of protest movements around the world, and academic theories are racing to catch up with them. This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication. Series Editors Jan Willem Duyvendak is professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

Simon offered me invaluable guidance throughout the research and writing process. In particular I want to highlight Simon’s generosity in extending to me his knowledge of archival research and one key document, War Office (WO) 305/3783. Without this piece of primary evidence my understanding of political developments for the year 1970 would have been far more limited. Moreover, Simon has provided constructive feedback on a number of draft documents and encouraged me to persist in times of doubt. Of course, any errors or misjudgements found within are my own. On a personal note, I would like to thank my parents for supporting me. My mother and father have given a great deal to me and I rarely make known to them my deep, heartfelt, appreciation. My mother’s spiritedness has instilled within me a drive to succeed and my father’s lively dinnertime debates have inspired my interest in politics. Without them I would not be my current self and this dissertation would have never been produced.

  • In Northern Ireland
    Proverbial Expressions, the Local Press and the Current “Troubles” in Northern Ireland Fionnuala Carson Williams In 1989, twenty years after what came to be generally termed the “Troubles” in Northern Ireland began, a special train left Belfast for the short but significant 100 mile journey to Dublin. The journey was organised by a diverse group of people, with a solid base of trade unionists among them, who wished to draw attention to their objection to the constant violent disruption on the line indiscriminately jeopardising civilian workers and pas- sengers. This rail line is the only one which crosses the border (established in 1925) between Northern Ireland, which remains part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ire- land, and the Republic of Ireland. Almost since 1969, when pro- tracted violence began, the line has been a target for attack by, ironically, the IRA – Irish Republican Army – paramilitaries who aspire to a united Ireland. The attacks come mainly in the form of bomb scares, but there have also been actual bombs either on the line or, less frequently, on the train itself, causing fatality and injury. Ideologically there does not appear to be any coher- ence in severing a link between the two places, rather, the rea- son for the constant onslaught seems to be because the train is a “soft target” – easy to attack and causing great disruption. Even a bomb scare can tie up many troops for several hours and often days. Seven times the Peace Train Organisation, as the group called itself, ran a special Peace Train to demonstrate opposi- tion to violence.

    COMPETITION IN THE MARKET FOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE: NORTHERN IRISH REPUBLICANISM, 1969–1998 VOLUME ONE OF TWO A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By John Paul Sawyer, M.A. Washington, D.C. December 8, 2010 Copyright 2010 by John Paul Sawyer All Rights Reserved ii COMPETITION IN THE MARKET FOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE: NORTHERN IRISH REPUBLICANISM, 1969–1998 John Paul Sawyer, M.A. Thesis Advisor(s): George Shambaugh, Ph.D., Elizabeth Stanley, Ph.D., Bruce Hoffman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT There has been considerable debate within the literature about how competition influences violent political organizations (VPOs). Applying economic theories of competition to the production of violence by terrorist or other VPOs yields considerable insight into their strategic behavior. Subversive groups cannot survive and continue to operate without a reservoir of political support, both active and passive, within the constituent base they claim to represent. These constituents exchange their support for the groups‘ violence when it is perceived to advance a preferred political agenda. However, violence also generates opposition from those constituents who perceive violence to be misguided, counter-productive or illegitimate. VPOs seek to maintain or increase their power within the constituent community by choosing the type and amount of violence that maximizes support and minimizes opposition. As such, VPOs are subject to the same forces of supply, demand and competition as firms in a market. Indeed, a qualitative time-series analysis of Republican groups in Northern Ireland finds typical market strategies employed, including attempts at product branding, productive outbidding, and reductions in violence by monopolistic groups.
