When do terrorist campaigns end? Why do terrorist groups decline? What are the causes of terrorist disbandment?
What are the explanatory factors that account for individual and collective disengagement? This paper analyzes the case of Terra Lliure, a Catalan terrorist group active between 1979 and 1995, in order
to identify the independent variables that determine the success or failure of terrorist groups. In accordance
to the literature on political violence, the paper develops a multi-level argument that distinguishes three
explanatory variables: (1) counter-terrorism; (2) organizational dynamics; and (3) individual factors. The
article concludes that a counter-terrorist policy (macro level) based on increasing the cost of participation
in an insurgent group is most successful when it coincides with organizational fragmentation (meso level)
and individual burnout (micro level). |
