Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study defines a terror organization as a group that employs organized physical violence as major means to realize its political objectives. The study focuses on cross border activities of such groups, and assesses their effects on regional or international systems. To this purpose, a case study is carried out in the Balkans on the eve of the First World War. Four groups were examined: The Serbian “Black Hand,” Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization, Committee of Unity and Progress (esp. its Enver gourp) and Armenian Revolutionary Federation. All of them were nationalist in their political orientation, and, thus, had different, often mutually incompatible, objectives. Our study, however, found many traces of their cooperation and dense ideological and tactical exchanges. The four groups’ rivalry and implementing joint operation so amplified political instabilities that the regional political system was untenable, and eventually prepared the precondition for WWI.
