This book aims to improve understanding of the broad trends in the
utilisation of political violence by examining the use of state
terror in world politics. The ending of the Cold War and the
overthrow of communism in Eastern Europe led many to assume that
this presaged the demise of the one-party terror regime and
acceptance of Western concepts of democracy, freedom and human
rights throughout the international system. But of course this did
not end state terror. The totalitarian one-party state still exists
in North Korea and China, and there are numerous military regimes
and other forms of dictatorship where the use of terror techniques
for internal control is routine. The late Professor Paul Wilkinson
conceived and began this project with the intention of analysing
the major types of international response to state terror, as well
as their outcomes and their wider implications for the future of
international relations. In keeping with this original premise, the
contributors explore the history of terrorism, as well as
reflecting on the need for international cooperation based on the
protection of civilians and a consistent approach to intervention
in conflict situations. This book will be of much interest to
students of terrorism studies, political violence, human rights,
genocide, and IR in general.
