  1. Ethno-Nationalist Terrorism

  2. Ethno-Nationalist organizations using terrorism may find narrow appeal (when compared to religious or ideological organizations)

  3. While ethno-nationalist terrorism retains its symbolic character, its message is somewhat different, for every attack is in part meant to communicate the existence and essence of ethnic identity

  4. Provocation remains a goal: ethno-nationalists seek polarizing reactions from governments but are usually more interested in provoking violent responses from other ethnic populations

  5. Such violence tends to destroy the possibility of negotiated settlement  focuses on complete rupture with overlapping or neighboring ethnic groups

  6. Although tremendous variationtwo groups • 1) Groups fighting for an end to their colonial status • Example: Struggle to eject French from Algeria • 2) Organizations fighting for independence or autonomy within a larger state’s “home” boarders • Examples: ETA in Spain, Palestinians in Israel and Jordan
