  • How Terrorist Campaigns End
    Department of Economic and Political Studies University of Helsinki Finland Acta Politica 41 How Terrorist Campaigns End The Campaigns of the Rode Jeugd in the Netherlands and the Symbionese Liberation Army in the United States Leena Malkki ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be presented, with the permission of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Helsinki, for public examination in the lecture room 5, University main building, on June 11, 2010, at 12 noon. Helsinki 2010 ISBN 978-952-10-6266-7 (pbk.) ISSN 0515-3093 Helsinki University Print Helsinki 2010 Abstract This study explores the decline of terrorism by conducting source-based case studies on two left-wing terrorist campaigns in the 1970s, those of the Rode Jeugd in the Netherlands and the Symbionese Liberation Army in the United States. The purpose of the case studies is to bring more light into the interplay of different external and internal factors in the development of terrorist campaigns. This is done by presenting the history of the two chosen campaigns as narratives from the participants’ points of view, based on interviews with participants and extensive archival material. Organizational resources and dynamics clearly influenced the course of the two campaigns, but in different ways. This divergence derives at least partly from dissimilarities in organizational design and the incentive structure. Comparison of even these two cases shows that organizations using terrorism as a strategy can differ significantly, even when they share ideological orientation, are of the same size and operate in the same time period. Theories on the dynamics of terrorist campaigns would benefit from being more sensitive to this.

  • Introduction the SLA Was Almost a Cultural Test Tube, a Specimen
    Introduction The SLA was almost a cultural test tube, a specimen sample from a bitter side of the sixties that marched apace after virtually all their comrades veered aside. Yet they marked time oddly, retracing rather than resolving the past. Culturally rootless, out of their time, they leaped into the social void¾and in an eerie half-life of their plunge, among themselves, if nowhere else, they recreated something of the pained and pimpled adolescence of the New Left. Vin McLellan and Paul Avery, The Voices of Guns The Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), as it existed originally, endured for a brief 192 days. It formed in in the months leading up to November 1973 in Oakland, California, and saw its first major action with the assassination of the first African American superintendent of schools, Marcus Foster, on November 6. Its first phase ended on May 17, 1974, in Los Angeles, in a shootout that proved fatal to all but three of its members. A year before the SLA took shape, the radical New Left splintered into many different factions, the most violent of which, the Weathermen, went underground. With the landslide reelection of President Richard Nixon in November 1972 and the announced end in January 1973 of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, the circumstances that had produced the antiwar movement began to fade away. As the war winded down, protest movements began to focus on civil rights issues, particularly through the lens of California prison reform. Berkeley, which remained a bastion of the counterculture atmosphere and lifestyle, was the epicenter of these movements.

  • The Berkeley “Patriots”
    The Berkeley “Patriots” From the 1960s through the mid-1970s, Berkeley and the San Francisco Bay Area were a mecca for idealistic youth protesting their government, their university, and other distrustful establishments. As the scene of the Free Speech Movement, the Beats in the North Beach section of San Francisco, the protests against the Vietnam War in 1965, and the Summer of Love in 1967, Berkeley and the San Francisco Bay Area gained a reputation as the destination for New Left and antiestablishment activities. For future members of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), who saw themselves as patriots, Berkeley and the San Francisco Bay Area symbolized an opportunity for education and greater involvement in radical New Left politics¾and the possibility of real revolution.1 Except for SLA founder Donald DeFreeze, who was African American, the members of the SLA were white middle- to upper-class Americans. Most had trouble maintaining their marriages and close relationships with loved ones. Some of those difficulties stemmed from the stark changes in their political views, as well as their burgeoning radicalism. Of all the members, only two, Nancy Ling Perry and Joe Remiro, grew up in the Bay Area. Nancy Ling Perry Nancy Ling grew up just north of San Francisco in Santa Rosa. At just under five feet tall and weighing approximately 100 pounds, the petite Perry did not exactly fit the stereotype of an urban guerrilla. She left the Bay Area in 1966 to attend Whittier College, Richard Nixon’s alma mater. But after her freshman year she returned home to attend the University of California, Berkeley.
