ACLARACIÓN INTRODUCTORIA El presente trabajo ha sido pensado en función de las continuas escaladas terroristas que han ocurrido en todos los ámbitos del mundo, algunos de gran resonancia como el del World Trade Center, en la ciudad de Nueva York, o los más recientes sucedidos en España (en diversos convoyes que convergían, entre otras, a la estación Atocha, del 11 de marzo de 2004, con un saldo de 177 decesos y 1857 heridos); en Londres, (el 7 de julio del año 2005, 3 con un saldo de 56 muertos y 700 heridos); en Francia (París, Charlie Hebdo, del 7 de enero de 2015; Niza el 14 de Julio de 2016, entre otros tantos); en Bélgica, Turquía, Bangladesh, India, Egipto, Filipinas, Indonesia, Yemen, Kuwait, Arabia Saudita, Irak, Siria, Rusia, Pakistán, Afganistán, Argelia, Túnez, Mali, Uzbekistán, Turkmenistán, etc. La República Argentina -desgraciadamente- ha sufrido dos de ellos que han marcado a fuego a nuestra sociedad. El atentado perpetrado en la embajada de Israel el día 27 de marzo de 1982 (que dejara el trágico saldo de 22 muertos y 242 heridos) y el atentado a la AMIA (Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina), acaecido el 18 de julio de 1994, con 85 personas muertas y 300 heridas de distinta consideración, ambos casos aún sin resolverse. PROEMIO El esquema fenomenológico, geográfico, temporal y político ✓ Para comprender este fenómeno y coincidiendo con las ideas del pensador y sociólogo noruego Johan Galtung (especialista en el estudio de los conflictos sociales y un avanzado en las investigaciones sobre los procesos de paz) podemos afirmar que el terrorismo se basa en una acción de violencia que genera efectos psíquicos desproporcionados respecto a sus consecuencias materiales y adquiriendo peculiaridades propias. En concreto: la intención de suscitar reacciones emocionales tales como ansiedad, incertidumbre, pánico o amedrentamiento entre quienes forman parte de un determinado agregado de la población, de manera que resulte factible condicionar sus actitudes y dirigir sus comportamientos en una dirección determinada hacia sus propios objetivos más que el deseo de causar daños tangibles a personas o cosas. Lo cual ayuda a distinguir a dicha violencia de tantas otras, habitualmente de mayor alcance y magnitud, extendidas sobre todo por su destructividad potencial y/o efectiva. Johan Galtung, distingue tres tipos de violencia, a saber: ➢ La directa ➢ La estructural y ➢ La cultural. La violencia directa es la física, la que tiene como objeto “herir o matar” a otra persona o a varias de ellas, mientras que la violencia estructural es más sutil, pero no menos grave: consiste en agredir desde la esfera política o económica, causando hambre, miseria, enfermedad o la muerte de la población; no hay aquí un hombre que ataca a otro directamente sino toda una estructura que “aporta en contra de las necesidades básicas de una población”. A su vez sostiene que una -la estructural- sirve de soporte a la otra -la directa- ya que la violencia directa, física y/o verbal, se hace visible a través del comportamiento. Pero la acción humana no surge de la nada: tiene sus raíces. Dos de ellas son indicativas: la cultura de la violencia (heroica, patriótica, patriarcal, sectaria, etc.) y la estructura violenta en sí misma por ser demasiado represiva, explotadora o alienante; demasiado estricta o permisiva para la comodidad del pueblo. En las obras en cuestión la violencia se presenta en sucesivas etapas, si se quiere, cronológica. Dependiendo del caso la 4 violencia puede comenzar por un desafío verbal, desembocar luego en una agresión de un cuerpo hacia otro, que logra, incluso, finalizar en la muerte de uno de los combatientes. Pero la realidad puede superar a la ficción. Toda violencia es una violación y cae de maduro que no es necesario recurrir a actos de violencia física para violar la humanidad de otra persona. Basta con hacer, por ejemplo, de la lengua un arma. Los recursos para tal propósito ya han sido sistematizados: nombrar con distorsión, corregir el vocablo con el que el supuesto enemigo se nombra a sí mismo, deformar los nombres propios, provocar la risa, advertir o amenazar con cada palabra. O lo que es igual, efectuar un trasbordo ideológico inadvertido, algo usual en los grupos terroristas que utilizan sistemáticamente a esta metodología de infiltración subrepticia sobre las mentes desprevenidas. Y es oportuno recordar que la violencia verbal, tan utilizada en los discursos políticos, suele normalmente preanunciar la violencia física. Se denomina fundamentalismo a distintas corrientes religiosas que promueven la interpretación literal de un texto «fundamental» ante el cual ninguna otra autoridad puede invocarse y que debería imponerse sobre las leyes de las sociedades democráticas. Esta definición pasa ya a ser clásica para situar al fenómeno terrorista del fundamentalismo islamista (o islámico) yihadista, muy cercano al wahabismo y al salafismo, que tratan de basar y justificar sus amenazas a través de la interpretación del Corán. En un sentido amplio también se lo identifica con el fanatismo o extremismo, aunque este último término se suele reservar para actitudes específicamente políticas. El caso que estamos analizando se aproxima más a esta última acepción, dadas las actitudes de intransigencia

    REVOLUTIONARY NETWORKS? AN ANALYSIS OF ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN IN TERRORIST GROUPS by Bradley J. McAllister (Under the Direction of Sherry Lowrance) ABSTRACT This dissertation is simultaneously an exercise in theory testing and theory generation. Firstly, it is an empirical test of the means-oriented netwar theory, which asserts that distributed networks represent superior organizational designs for violent activists than do classic hierarchies. Secondly, this piece uses the ends-oriented theory of revolutionary terror to generate an alternative means-oriented theory of terrorist organization, which emphasizes the need of terrorist groups to centralize their operations. By focusing on the ends of terrorism, this study is able to generate a series of metrics of organizational performance against which the competing theories of organizational design can be measured. The findings show that terrorist groups that decentralize their operations continually lose ground, not only to government counter-terror and counter-insurgent campaigns, but also to rival organizations that are better able to take advantage of their respective operational environments. However, evidence also suggests that groups facing decline due to decentralization can offset their inability to perform complex tasks by emphasizing the material benefits of radical activism.

  • The Challenges of Reinvigorating Democracy Through Visual Art in 21St Century Nairobi
    The challenges of reinvigorating democracy through visual art in 21st century Nairobi Craig Campbell Halliday 30 September 2019 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Sainsbury Research Unit for the Arts of Africa, Oceania & the Americas School of Art, Media and American Studies University of East Anglia, Norwich This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Abstract This study examines the potential for contemporary visual art to reinvigorate democracy in 21st century Nairobi, Kenya, through an interdisciplinary investigation. The new millennium ushered in fresh hope for democratisation in the postcolonial East African country. In 2002, Daniel arap Moi’s 24 years of authoritarian rule ended. The opposition were victorious at the ballot box, instilling a belief amongst the electorate that formal political processes could bring change. However, the post-election violence of 2007/8 shattered such convictions. But, from this election result came a progressive Constitution and with it possibilities for creating change. These momentous events underscore Kenya’s topsy-turvy path towards democracy – a path whose trajectory is charted in the experience of ordinary Kenyans who believe in democracy’s value and their right to participate in politics and civil life. Artists, too, have been at the forefront of this ongoing struggle. This study draws on empirical research to demonstrate contemporary visual art’s capacity to expand ways of practising, experiencing and understanding democracy.

  • Theatre of Al-Shabaab Operations,From Shifta to Terrorist
    9/11: The Day That Changed America and the World Order By Paul Tiyambe Zeleza It was surreal, almost unbelievable in its audacity. Incredulous images of brazen and coordinated terrorist attacks blazoned television screens around the world. The post-Cold War lone and increasingly lonely superpower was profoundly shaken, stunned, and humbled. It was an attack that was destined to unleash dangerous disruptions and destabilize the global order. That was 9/11, whose twentieth anniversary fell this weekend. Popular emotions that day and in the days and weeks and months that followed exhibited fear, panic, anger, frustration, bewilderment, helplessness, and loss. Subsequent studies have shown that in the early hours of the terrorist attacks confusion and apprehension reigned even at the highest levels of government. However, before long it gave way to an all-encompassing overreaction and miscalculation that set the US on a catastrophic path. The road to ruin over the next twenty years was paved in those early days after 9/11 in an unholy contract of incendiary expectations by the public and politicians born out of trauma and hubris. There was the nation’s atavistic craving for a bold response, and the leaders’ quest for a millennial mission to combat a new and formidable global evil. The Bush administration was given a blank check to craft a muscular invasion to teach the terrorists and their sponsors an unforgettable lesson of America’s lethal power and unequalled global reach. Like most people over thirty, I remember that day vividly as if it was yesterday. I was on my first, and so far only sabbatical in my academic year.

Abstract Presently Jihad Salafi (JS) and its movement has become prominent in the eyes of Western and secular perception, interpretation and definition. The latest analysis carried out by RAND Corporation has identified about 60 groups which related to Jihad Salafi’s ideology. In a specific sense, Western states are mainly concerned with ideology, international networking, structure and capabilities, growing numbers of JS groups, leadership pattern, and support elements which could threaten their states, coalition, allies, and other interests’ mainly in international economic activities. A deep understanding of JS teaching is still ambiguous among Western policy makers, their people and their political systems. Misunderstanding of the word `jihad’ has jeopardised the true meaning of Islam and the content of holy Qur’an.

  • The Diplomatic Gaffe That Could Sour Relations Between Kenya and Somalia,Why Directive on SGR Cargo Could Kill Kenya's Small T
    Trump, Ukraine, and the Whistleblower: Why Reporting Wrongdoing Remains a Perilous Activity By Rasna Warah “I think we will not understand what is happening in our society until we listen to the tears, the screams, the pain, and horror of those who have crossed a boundary they did not even know exists. To be a whistleblower is to step outside the Great Chain of Being, to join not just another religion, but another world. Sometimes this other world is called the margins of society, but to the whistleblower it feels like outer space.” – C. Fred Alford, Whistleblowers: Broken Lives and Organizational Power (2001). President Donald Trump’s thinly veiled attacks against the anonymous whistleblower who reported his shady dealings with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, have once again highlighted what a dangerous activity whistleblowing can be. The US president is reported to have stated: “I want to know who’s the person who gave the whistleblower the information because that’s close to a spy. You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart? Right? With spies and treason, right? We used to handle them a little differently than we do now.” By equating whistleblowing with treason, Trump is doing exactly what many people in power do when confronted with a revelation that shows them in a bad light – they shoot the messenger by accusing him of being disloyal – a traitor – or of having damaged an organisation’s reputation. For this, the whistleblower is either fired, ridiculed or psychologically tortured. (In the case of Trump, he would prefer that the Ukraine scandal whistleblower be hanged.) What most people don’t understand is that no one wakes up one day and decides to blow the whistle on their employer.
