Chastang Distinguished Professor of Terrorism Studies, University of Central Florida Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Phil Williams, Professor, Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh ii Copyright © by Michael Patrick Echemendia 2010 iii DELIBERATE DEATH: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE NATURE OF SUICIDE ATTACKS Michael Patrick Echemendia, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2010 ABSTRACT Suicide attacks are a complex and vexing phenomena that are appearing with greater frequency in the international arena. Previous approaches to studying suicide attacks tend to examine them at one-level of analysis. While helpful, the insights produced are isolated from other crucial factors. This dissertation examines suicide attacks at three-levels of analysis as it investigates the organizational incentives, individual motivations and how the attacks achieve societal resonance. As such, the dissertation asks three primary research questions: why do organizations adopt suicide attacks, why are individuals motivated to become suicide attackers and how do the attacks attain resonance? The research questions are applied to four case studies selected along a conflict continuum where suicide attacks were used. The cases are (a) the Japanese use of Kamikazes during World War II, (b) the LTTE’s use of suicide attacks during its irregular war against Sri Lanka, (c) Hamas’ use of suicide attacks as domestic terrorism against Israel, and (d) Al Qaeda’s use of suicide attacks as transnational terrorism. The dissertation argues that organizations use suicide attacks out of defensive necessity and for strategic purposes, individuals are motivated to become suicide attackers by a religo-nationalist liberation ideology that promises the attacker post-mortem incentives for his or her death, and that societal resonance is achieved when the iv organization draws on religious, cultural and nationalistic narratives that enable the population to accept the tactic. v TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE .................................................................................................................................

  • Suicide: a Unique Epidemic in Japan a High GDP, a Literacy Rate of 99
    Suicide: A Unique Epidemic in Japan Magdalena Wilson College of Arts and Science, Vanderbilt University Japan, a country with a long life expectancy, strong economy and stable political system seems like an unlikely place to encounter a deadly global epidemic. Yet, the unique history and culture of Japan, including its religion, media, and economy, create a setting in which rates of suicide are reaching unprecedented levels. The culture of Japan combined with the peculiar nature of suicide, which allows it to evade clear classification as a disease, creates an intriguing public health challenge for Japan in tackling this epidemic. A high GDP, a literacy rate of 99 percent, a performing a form of seppuku more appropriate for healthy life expectancy of 72-78 years, and a health times of peace, junshi or “suicide to follow one‟s lord budget of 1660 international dollars per capita (World to the grave,” (59) as an outlet for expressing their Health Organization 2005) are not the features valor and dedication to their lord.

  • ON the EFFECTIVE USE of PROXY WARFARE by Andrew Lewis Peek Baltimore, Maryland May 2021 © 2021 Andrew Peek All Rights Reserved
    ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF PROXY WARFARE by Andrew Lewis Peek A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2021 2021 Andrew Peek All rights reserved Abstract This dissertation asks a simple question: how are states most effectively conducting proxy warfare in the modern international system? It answers this question by conducting a comparative study of the sponsorship of proxy forces. It uses process tracing to examine five cases of proxy warfare and predicts that the differentiation in support for each proxy impacts their utility. In particular, it proposes that increasing the principal-agent distance between sponsors and proxies might correlate with strategic effectiveness. That is, the less directly a proxy is supported and controlled by a sponsor, the more effective the proxy becomes. Strategic effectiveness here is conceptualized as consisting of two key parts: a proxy’s operational capability and a sponsor’s plausible deniability. These should be in inverse relation to each other: the greater and more overt a sponsor’s support is to a proxy, the more capable – better armed, better trained – its proxies should be on the battlefield. However, this close support to such proxies should also make the sponsor’s influence less deniable, and thus incur strategic costs against both it and the proxy. These costs primarily consist of external balancing by rival states, the same way such states would balance against conventional aggression. Conversely, the more deniable such support is – the more indirect and less overt – the less balancing occurs.

    Thomas Jefferson and the samurai spirit Tokugawa Ieyasu won the battle of Sekigahara in 1601, and he ushered into Japan several centuries of feudal rule. To celebrate his victory, Tokugawa took the title of Shogun, invited peasants to decapitate his rival and established a rigid set of laws and regulations that lasted nearly 300 years. One century after Sekigahara, Japan experienced an epic event that set the character of the nation ever after. 1 The sacrifices attendant with this tale would Tokugawa have been understood and appreciated by Thomas Jefferson. Ieyasu Approximately four decades before Jefferson’s birth, in 1701 in Edo (Tokyo) an important imperial protocol officer, Kira Kozuke-no-Suke Yoshinaka, was charged with teaching court etiquette to young nobles including Asano Takumi-no- Kami Naganori. Kira by all accounts was irascible and demanding, probably corrupt and undisputedly insulting. Then after stoically enduring this pedagogical abuse for months, Asano attacked Kira with a weapon.2 Although Kira was only slightly injured, drawing a blade inside the imperial Goaded by Kira, palace was a capital Lord Asano crime.
