Terrorism in an Era of Unconventional Warfare

Susanne Martin and Leonard B. Weinberg

Terrorism and Political Violence, 2016, vol. 28, issue 2, 236-253

Abstract: Academic studies of terrorism and mass political violence have developed largely independently of one another. Insurgents, in contrast, have tended to incorporate terrorism tactics along with other types of unconventional warfare in their repertoire of action. This tendency has become more apparent among insurgents engaging in armed confrontations in the twenty-first century. In order to take account of this development, scholars and others interested in contemporary warfare need to incorporate terrorism studies within the broader subject of insurgencies and “small wars”—political violence, in other words.
