Annotation

HISTORICAL CASE STUDIES OF THREE REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS ARE PRESENTED TO DEMONSTRATE THE NONAPPLICABILITY OF PROFFERED CROSS-NATIONAL MODELS OF REVOLUTIONARY FORMS.

Abstract

THE REVOLUTIONARY ORGANIZATIONS ANALYZED ARE THE PROVISIONAL IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY, THE EOKA-B IN CYPRUS, AND THE ERITREAN LIBERATION FRONT IN ETHIOPIA. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT WHILE THE CONSTRUCTION OF MODELS IS ESSENTIAL IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHENOMENON CLASSIFIED AS TERRORISM, THE EXISTING STATE OF ANALYSIS LEAVES MUCH TO BE DESIRED. THERE ARE EITHER TOO MANY SPECIAL CASES OR ELSE THE EFFECTIVE GENERALIZATIONS ARE NEITHER PARTICULARLY PROFOUND NOR READY OF APPLICATION.
