Abstract

Ovaj rad bavi se određivanjem specifičnosti terorističkih pokreta kojima je cilj ostvarivanje separatizma. Separatistički terorizam niša je koja je istraživana primarno kao studije slučaja, a rjeđe se formuliraju teorije koje bi objasnile fenomen. Svrha ovog rada je formulacija eksplanatorne teorije. Istraživanje je provedeno kroz analizu četiri primjera, IRA, ETA, ALN iz Alžira i FLNC sa Korzike. Svaka od ovih terorističkih skupina je predstavljena u svom povijesno-političkom kontekstu, a zatim su skupine uspoređene prema tri kriterija; odnosima moći, narativima i učinku. Istraživanje pokazuje značaj u odnosima moći između središnje države i podnacionalne skupine iz koje su pokreti nastali. Što se jaz u moći smanjuje, to separatistički pokreti dobivaju sve više podrške. Osim toga odabranim slučajevima zajednički je anti-kolonijalistički narativ koji je služio kao glavna mobilizacijska snaga. Mobilizaciji dodatno pomaže agresivna reakcija središnje države na separatistička nastojanja.

Abstract (english)

Aim of this essay is determining the specifics of terrorist movement whose goal is achieving state secession. Separatist terrorism is a niche which is primarily researched as in the form of case studies, while formulating explanatory theories is relatively rare. Purpose of this article is the formulation of an explanatory theory. Research is performed by the analysis of four cases, IRA, ETA, ALN from Algeria and FLNC from Corsica. Each of these groups is described in a politically-historic context, and groups are then compared by three criteria: power relations, narratives and impact. Research showed relevance of power relations between the central state and the subnational group from which the movement originates. As the power gap is diminished, terrorist movements gain more support. Other than that, chosen movements also share an anti-colonial narrative which served as a the main mobilization force. Mobilization is also aditionaly increased by an agressive reaction of the central state to the separatist struggle.
