Patterns of Global Terrorism 1999
U.S. Department of State, April 2000 Introduction The US Government continues its commitment to use all tools necessary—including international diplomacy, law enforcement, intelligence collection and sharing, and military force—to counter current terrorist threats and hold terrorists accountable for past actions. Terrorists seek refuge in “swamps” where government control is weak or governments are sympathetic. We seek to drain these swamps. Through international and domestic legislation and strengthened law enforcement, the United States seeks to limit the room in which terrorists can move, plan, raise funds, and operate. Our goal is to eliminate terrorist safehavens, dry up their sources of revenue, break up their cells, disrupt their movements, and criminalize their behavior. We work closely with other countries to increase international political will to limit all aspects of terrorists’ efforts. US counterterrorist policies are tailored to combat what we believe to be the shifting trends in terrorism. One trend is the shift from well-organized, localized groups supported by state sponsors to loosely organized, international networks of terrorists. Such a network supported the failed attempt to smuggle explosives material and detonating devices into Seattle in December. With the decrease of state funding, these loosely networked individuals and groups have turned increasingly to other sources of funding, including private sponsorship, narcotrafficking, crime, and illegal trade. This shift parallels a change from primarily politically motivated terrorism to terrorism that is more religiously or ideologically motivated. Another trend is the shift eastward of the locus of terrorism from the Middle East to South Asia, specifically Afghanistan. As most Middle Eastern governments have strengthened their counterterrorist response, terrorists and their organizations have sought safehaven in areas where they can operate with impunity. -

Perú Y La Estrategia Armada En Los Años Sesenta: La Reactualización De Un Debate
Contenciosa , Año IV, nro.6, primer semestre 2016 - ISSN 2347-0011 PERÚ Y LA ESTRATEGIA ARMADA EN LOS AÑOS SESENTA: LA REACTUALIZACIÓN DE UN DEBATE MARTÍN MANGIANTINI (Instituto Ravignani – CONICET / UBA) Facultad de Filosofía y Letras / Universidad de Buenos Aires Becario del Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas / Instituto Ravignani (25 de Mayo 221, 2° piso, CABA) [email protected] Resumen A principios de los años sesenta, la organización trotskista argentina Palabra Obrera decidió el envío de tres militantes al Perú con el objetivo de construcción e inserción política en un contexto de importante convulsión social, principalmente a partir de la toma de tierra y la sindicalización campesina en la región del Cuzco. La puesta en práctica de acciones armadas por parte de este grupo generó un proceso de discusión y debate que, recientemente, se trajo a colación a raíz de una serie de nuevos insumos documentales. Es objetivo de este artículo analizar este hecho a la luz de estas flamantes herramientas de discusión. Palabras Claves Lucha armada - Trotskismo - Movimiento campesino - Guevarismo Abstract At the beginning of the sixties, the Trotskyist Argentine organization Palabra Obrera (Working Word) decided to send three militants to Peru with the aim of construction and of political insertion in a context of important social convulsion, principally from the capture of land and the rural unionization in the region of the Cuzco. The implementation of armed actions by this group generated a process of discussion and debate that, recently, was brought to collation immediately after a series of new documentary inputs. It is the aim of this article to analyze this fact in the light of these brand new discussion tools. -

Under Reagan reaction, the KKK figures it has a license to spew out its race-hate poison everywhere. A Klan endorsed president in the White House, Democrats and Republicans united in an anti-Soviet war drive have made it open season on unions and minority rights at home.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Defining the Monster: The Social Science and Rhetoric of Neo-Marxist Theories of Imperialism in the United States and Latin America, 1945-1973 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Christopher Cody Stephens Committee in charge: Professor Nelson Lichtenstein, Chair Professor Alice O’Connor Professor Salim Yaqub June 2018 The dissertation of Christopher Cody Stephens is approved. ____________________________________________ Salim Yaqub ____________________________________________ Alice O’Connor ____________________________________________ Nelson Lichtenstein, Committee Chair April 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I had the benefit of working with many knowledgeable and generous faculty members at UCSB. As my advisor and the chair of my dissertation committee, Nelson Lichtenstein has ushered the project through every stage of its development, from conceptualization to defense. I pitched the idea of writing a seminar paper on Andre Gunder Frank in his office roughly four years ago, and since then he has enthusiastically supported my efforts, encouraged me to stay focused on the end goal, and provided detailed feedback on multiple drafts. That is not to say that I have always incorporated all his comments/criticisms, but when I have failed to do so it is mostly out of lack of time, resources, or self-discipline. I will continue to draw from a store of Nelson’s comments as a blueprint as I revise the manuscript for eventual publication as a monograph. Alice O’Connor, Mary Furner, and Salim Yaqub also read and commented on the manuscript, and more broadly influenced my intellectual trajectory. Salim helped me present my work at numerous conferences, which in turn helped me think through how the project fit in the frame of Cold War historiography.
