Terrorism and Political Violence

First published in 1988 Terrorism and Political Violence is one of the two leading journals on terrorism, the other being Studies in Conflict and Terrorism. Both are published by Routledge part of the Taylor and Francis group, which is in turn part of the Informa Group which has helped to fund the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence at St Andrews University. The St Andrews Centre is well represented on the editorial board and the rest of the board is dominated by terrorologists fully signed up to supporting Western power.

Orientation

British academics Jonny Burnett and Dave Whyte note that:

The ‘terrorism’ that contributions to this journal focus on almost exclusively covers political violence directed against states, rather than by states. Where state terrorism does feature in analyses, it tends to be the political violence sponsored by states that are not allied to US or Western European countries (in other words, those described as ‘rogue states’).
