Accounts of the relationships between states and terrorist
organizations in the Cold War era have long been shaped by
speculation, a lack of primary sources and even conspiracy
theories. In the last few years, however, things have evolved
rapidly. Using a wide range of case studies including the KGB's
Abduction Program, Polish Military Intelligence and North Korea's
'Terrorism and Counterterrorism', this book sheds new light on the
relations between state and terrorist actors, allowing for a fresh
and much more insightful assessment of the contacts, dealings,
agreements and collusion with terrorist organizations undertaken by
state actors on both sides of the Iron Curtain. This book presents
the current state of research and provides an assessment of the
nature, motives, effects, and major historical shifts of the
relations between individual states and terrorist organizations.
The articles collected demonstrate that these state-terrorism
relationships were not only much more ambiguous than much of the
older literature had suggested but are, in fact, crucial for the
understanding of global political history in the Cold War era.
