Underground Violence
On the Nature of Terrorism

What makes terrorism a unique form of political violence is its underground nature. According to the conceptualization of the phenomenon offered in this book, terrorism is the kind of violence carried out when the perpetrators lack territorial control. There is a strong link between terrorism and secret, clandestine operations, making terrorists attacks ephemeral, as opposed to battles and assaults.The book offers a comprehensive conceptual analysis of terrorism, comparing it with competing theories and views on the subject, such as terrorism is killing civilians, or terrorism is a form of violence that relies on the distinction between direct and indirect targets. The conceptualization advanced here makes sense of some peculiar traits of terrorism, from international attacks (in which the underground constraint is most obvious), to lone-actor ones (in which a single individual commits a deed). It also delimits the possibility of state terrorism as covert operations by security forces, normally abroad. Approaching terrorism in terms of the underground not only makes sense of how we talk about terrorism, but it also generates testable consequences. Through a combination of statistical and comparative analyses, it is shown that the use of terrorism is driven by the degree of asymmetry between the contending parties.

This book deals with the structure of Spanish politics: how citizens and parties locate themselves in political space, and how these actors make decisions based on their positions in the various dimensions this space consists of.The authors of this volume address the questions surrounding the dimensions of Spanish politics, the effect of the nationalist issue (Catalonia and the Basque Country) in Spanish political competition, the reasons for which the Catalans and the Basques appear as more left-wing than the rest of Spain, the ways in which Spanish voters make their choices, the political issues that are more polarizing in Spain, the background behind why the two main parties hold such similar positions on redistribution, whether the territorial conflict has an impact on preferences for redistribution and how the immigration issue alters political competition.All of these questions rely on the spatial theory of politics for their analyses. The data used in all the chapters come from a survey that was especially designed with the aim of addressing all these topics that are examined in the book.This is the first exhaustive and rigorous explanation of how Spanish politics work based on the positions that parties and citizens occupy in the political space.This book was published as a special issue of South European Society and Politics.

Historical Roots of Political Violence
Revolutionary Terrorism in Affluent Countries

Following the protest movements and radicalism of the late sixties, many affluent countries experienced lethal revolutionary terrorism. Groups like the Red Brigades in Italy and the Red Army Faction in Germany provoked political crises in their countries. Other affluent countries, however, did not experience this same kind of violence. This book offers a historical-comparative explanation of this cross-national variation, focusing on the development paths followed by countries during the interwar period. The countries that followed a non-liberal path (marked by anarchist terrorism, democratic breakdowns, civil wars, land inequality, non-liberal capitalism, and late industrialization) suffered lethal left-wing terrorism decades later. Terrorism is thus explained as a feature of the political and economic system. Drawing on several fields, including comparative politics, political economy, international relations, and historical sociology, this book offers novel hypotheses about the determinants of violent conflict.

Franco quiso que el régimen quedara "atado y bien atado" tras su muerte. Pero un año después de su desaparición, el propio régimen desató el nudo sin demasiadas dificultades. La transición a la democracia se produjo mediante la aprobación en las Cortes, el 18 de noviembre de 1976, de la octava Ley fundamental del franquismo, la Ley para la Reforma Política. Los procuradores de las Cortes franquistas votaron a favor de una ley que acababa con el régimen y daba paso a unas elecciones democráticas y un periodo constituyente. En la época, fue corriente hablar del "harakiri" o del "suicidio" del franquismo. ¿Por qué los procuradores aceptaron "suicidarse" políticamente? Esta pregunta no ha recibido una respuesta satisfactoria hasta el momento. En este libro se reconstruye la situación política del año 1976, analizando la correlación de fuerzas entre la oposición y el régimen, así como las reformas llevadas a cabo primero por el Gobierno de Carlos Arias Navarro y luego por el de Adolfo Suárez, y se propone una explicación del comportamiento paradójico de los procuradores.

En este libro -señala Ignacio Sánchez-Cuenca- pretendo recuperar parte de la confianza perdida en el funcionamiento del sistema democrático. La democracia -afirma- puede ofrecer más de lo que sus críticos admiten. El ideal de un conjunto de personas libres e iguales que toman decisiones colectivas en función de sus preferencias sobre qué tipo de sociedad construir tiene todavía un potencial radical que dista mucho de haber sido agotado.Este libro agudo, inteligente y provocador defiende la idea de que en el binomio "democracia liberal" lo liberal ha llegado a pesar demasiado y la democracia demasiado poco.
