Introduction: Rethinking the State and its Role in Terrorist Conflicts -- Chapter 1: The Spanish State and the Basque Conflict -- Chapter 2: The French State, French Algeria and the OAS -- Chapter 3: The United Kingdom and the Northern Ireland Conflict -- Chapter 4: Emotional Impetus for the Response to Terrorism -- Chapter 5: The Character of State Organisations and the Impact on Counterterrorism -- Chapter 6: Intra-state Communication and Cooperation in Counterterrorism -- Chapter 7: Political Impetus for the Response to Terrorism -- Conclusions. .

This book investigates the ways in which the particular nature and character of the state can impact upon the effectiveness of counter-terrorism efforts, and on the trajectory of violent conflicts. Here, McConaghy not only analyses historical campaigns of terrorism and the response of states to them, but also highlights how factors such as emotion, intra-state cooperation, communication and competition have all served to shape conflicts in the past. This volume explains what the ramifications of these factors are for academics studying political violence, for state elites with counter-terrorism responsibility, and for individuals or organizations who use violence to achieve their political goals.
