Counter-Terror by Proxy

Counter-terror by proxy exposes the motives, form and rationale of extrajudicial military force that was violently deployed by the Spanish government against Basque separatists during the 1980s. It offers a comprehensive understanding of a dark side of recent Spanish history and analyses the wider consequences of the resort to illegal counterterrorist practices in liberal regimes.

Description

Counter-Terror by Proxy sheds light on a fascinating and intriguing case of illiberal practices within a liberal regime. Spanish State agencies are revealed to have colluded with mercenaries and petty criminals to target members of the Basque militant group ETA. The aim was to pressure the French Government into greater cooperation in combating Basque terrorism.

This compelling work assesses the political and institutional context that led to this blatant deviation from legality, questioning the underlying logics and rationale. It offers a thorough examination of the implications of employing unorthodox counter-terrorist strategies in a liberal democracy.
