Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Politics -
International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies,
Security, grade: A, Webster University, language: English,
abstract: During the 1960 s and early 1970 s, a rise in Quebec
nationalism led to an independence movement through violent means.
Although violence was characteristic of a relatively small group of
individuals compared with the moderately supportive general public,
the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ) was successful in eliciting
public support for its cause. However, due to a series of responses
by the Quebec provincial government and Canadian federal
government, public support quickly declined following the
implementation of the War Measures Act in October 1970. Although a
risky decision on the part of the federal government, the War
Measures Act successfully halted violent terrorist tactics in the
name of Quebec sovereignty. This furthermore produced a foundation
for Quebec separatists, moderates and FLQ members alike, to vote on
independence through legitimate means. The growth and effectiveness
of domestic political terrorism can be analyzed through theoretical
frameworks. Furthermore, the actions of target groups to combat
terrorist objectives are also important in understanding the
ability of whether a terrorist organization will succeed or not.
The need to understand the cause of terrorism also aids in
understanding whether it can be successfully eliminated. Through
the lens of Nicholas O. Berry s (1987) Theories on the efficacy of
terrorism, this paper examines the Quebec separatist movement and
the rise and fall of the Front de Liberation du Quebec terrorist
group."
