Drawing on more than a decade of fieldwork, Andreas E. Feldmann examines the disparate behaviour of actors including guerrilla groups, state security forces, and paramilitaries during Colombia's long and bloody civil war. Analysing the varieties of violence in this conflict, he develops a new theory of the dynamics of terrorism in civil wars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeldmann argues that armed groups' distinct uses—repertoires—of terrorism arise from their particular organisational identities, the central and enduring attributes that distinguish one faction from other warring parties. He investigates a range of groups that took part in the Colombian conflict over the course of its evolution from ideological to criminal warfare, demonstrating that organisational identity plays a critical role in producing and rationalising violence. Armed parties employ their unique repertoires as a means of communication to assert their relevance and territorial presence and to differentiate themselves from enemies and rivals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRepertoires of Terrorism\u003c\/em\u003e is based on an extensive data set covering thousands of incidents, as well as interviews, archival research, and testimony. It sheds new light on both armed groups' use of violence in Colombia's civil war and the factors that shape terrorist activity in other conflicts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597854785772,"sku":"9780231213752","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780231213752-repertoires-of-terrorism.jpg?v=1777959538"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/andreas-e-feldmann.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
