    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE CIVIL WAR, GUERRILLA WARFARE, AND TERRORISM: UNDERSTANDING NON- STATE POLITICAL VIOLENCE THROUGH THE PHILIPPINES’ MORO CONFLICT ROBERT Y. CHEN Spring 2015 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in International Politics and Economics with honors in International Politics Reviewed and approved* by the following: Douglas Lemke Associate Professor of Political Science Thesis Supervisor Gretchen Casper Associate Professor of Political Science Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT Civil wars are traditionally studied as distinct from other forms of political dissidence. If a given political conflict does not reach a battle-related death threshold – a standard criterion for classifying a conflict as a civil war – it would fall out of most civil war datasets. I argue that this distinction is arbitrary, and that separating the study of civil war from the study of political conflict both limits and distorts our understanding of all forms of political conflict. In lieu of the separate study of different forms of conflict, I propose a framework from which to consider a particular form of conflict (self-determination) holistically, placing different non-state actor political strategies – terrorism, guerrilla warfare, and interstate war-like conventional warfare – on a spectrum, hypothesizing that actors choose their tactics based on their strength relative to their opponent, the government. In this way, we can understand when, where, and why a non- state actor seeking self-determination will employ terrorism as opposed to attempting to build a de facto state from which to challenge the government.

Santos, Jr. and Paz Verdades M. Santos and Paz Verdades Soliman M. Santos, Jr. Primed and Purposeful: Armed Groups and Human Security Efforts in the Philippines pro- vides the political and historical detail necessary to understand the motivations and probable outcomes of conflicts in the country. The volume explores related human security issues, including the willingness of several Filipino armed groups to negotiate political settlements to the conflicts, and to contemplate the demobilization and reintegration of combatants into civilian life. Light is also shed on the use of small arms—the weapons of choice for armed groups—whose availability is maintained through leakage from government arsenals, porous borders, a thriving domestic craft industry, and a lax regulatory regime. —David Petrasek, Author, Ends and Means: Human Rights Approaches to Armed Groups (International Council on Human Rights Policy, 2000) At the centre of this book are the ‘primed and purposeful’ protagonists of the Philippines’ two major internal armed conflicts: the nationwide Communist insurgency and the Moro insurgency in the Muslim part of Mindanao.

  • (VA) DIVISION of POLICE Page 1
    HISTORY OF THE HENRICO COUNTY (VA) DIVISION OF POLICE PART I The Early Years The earliest evidence of policing activities in Henrico County occurred in June of 1676. During that year the General Assembly, which met in Jamestown, established a means of suppressing unlawful assemblies, riots, tumults and rebellions. Known as Bacon’s Laws, these laws further established that control of unlawful acts would rest with a Sheriff, thus the English traditions of law enforcement were perpetuated in America. In Henrico County, the Sheriff was selected from among several local justices and served a one year term. No Sheriff could serve consecutive terms. A Sheriff was considered the most powerful person in the County. In addition to enforcing laws, this individual was the tax collector and he sat as a judge in the County Court. Although nearly all old records were burned by the British during the country’s fight for freedom, the aforementioned system remained in effect through the mid 1800’s. In 1851, Captain C. Eggleston and twelve other men were appointed to patrol an area of the County known as Union Hall to check on slaves. In 1852, the Circuit Court appointed Alexander B. Hutcheson as Sheriff. Four years later, Mr. Hutcheson sold a parcel of land and building to the County, which at that time was to be used as an office for the Sheriff. This $85.00 investment, located at 22nd and Main Streets in Richmond, was to later house the “modern” police department. The Court appointed the last slave patrol ever to function in Henrico County during the month of March 1865.
