Dynamics of Somali piracy / Hansen, Stig Jarle   Journal Article
Hansen, Stig Jarle Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract By drawing upon information gathered from interviews with pirates as well as statistics this article explores the major traits of contemporary piracy in Somalia and the how they developed. Criminal maritime groups in the country have traditionally been the product of the actions and decisions of individual actors, although the current wave of activity is more the result of the weakening of political institutions. In all cases syndicates are driven by profit considerations and have largely shunned connections with political entities-although this latter factor appears to have changed since the end of 2010.

Palestinian woman's place in terrorism: organized perpetrators or individual actors? / Margolin, Devorah   Journal Article
Margolin, Devorah Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article analyzes a novel comprehensive database of attacks by Palestinian women between 1965 and 1995. During this period, women's participation in terrorism evolved and their participation can be divided into two distinct eras, before and after 1986. The article argues that the entrance of religious terrorist organizations into politics and the First Intifada changed Palestinian terrorism. While more attacks by women occurred after 1986, they were mostly low intensity attacks, aimed at military targets, with low success rates. Despite women's participation, the patriarchal structure of society is also reflected in Palestinian terrorist organizations. However, as women's roles in society expanded, so too did their roles within terrorist organizations.
