Abstract:

Internal conflict and state repression/terrorism is thought to have a strong connection. Prior research has in fact established a casual relationship between internal war, broadly defined, and state terrorism. Little research, however, has attempted to measure the strength and direction of the relationship between civil terrorism and state terrorism specifically. Nor has previous research explored the many ideological forms of civil terrorism and their potentially varying effects on state terrorism. In this pooled cross-section time-series analysis of 120 developing nations between 1976 and 2002, I find that international civil terrorism is one of the most important factors for predicting state-level violence. Moreover, I find that civil terrorism is more important than non-violent political dissent including protest, riots and strikes for predicting state terrorism and that terrorism has an independent effect on state level violence even when controlling for both lesser and more intense forms of internal violence. Finally, I also find that leftist terrorism is more likely than other forms of terrorism to induce state terrorism with Islamist and ethnoseparatist terrorism respectively of lesser importance.

The “war on terror” and the sweeping changes in anti-terrorism policies at the national and international levels that followed soon shifted attention to the alleged relationship between terrorist insurgency at the civil level
