Research Abstract

This study has analyzed what factors have activated the politically-marginalized populations to challenge the existing orders through violent means, and their impacts upon international and societal relations. The most relevant factor forthe mobilization has turned out to be their relations with the state institutions. The study also examines the conditions under which their violence had targeted at civilian populations.
