Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The paper presents a theoretical framework of recruitment by organizations of political violence as an alternative approach to traditional accounts of collective action. The framework is then applied to a case study of recruitment by the Greek Cypriot organization EOKA from its inception as an anti-colonial movement for self-determination in the 1950s (referred to as EOKA A') to its transformation into a radicalized nationalist organization in the 1970s (referred to as EOKA B'). The paper illustrates the role of social networks and social norms in facilitating recruitment and the evolution of the organization of political violence from EOKA A' to B'._x000d_The study will fill a lacuna in the study of this particular conflict. Even though many aspects of the conflict have been examined, there is no in-depth study of the organization with an emphasis on recruitment. The particular aim of this project is to provide a theoretical explanation as well as empirical data on the organizational aspects of the transformation. In what ways did the pool of participants, recruitment patterns and the conduct of political violence change over time? To answer these questions, the project relies on data collected through interviews of ex-combatants.
