Encyclopedia of Terrorism and Organized Violence

Terrorism is neither an inevitability nor a doctrine. It is a method. A method placed in the service of the most diverse strategies and objectives. Even if attacks resemble one another, they most often respond to different ends. The fight against terrorism — or rather, terrorisms — requires a strategy adapted to each adversary, to its structures, its...

The September 11 attacks legitimised the United States' security responsibility over the world. From that point on, conflicts of all kinds would be regulated by American politico-military power — or so President Bush asserted with vigour. Does this locking-down of the international balance of power concern France and Europe? Do we still have room for...

The recruitment of the Légion étrangère, over its 189 years of existence, has never ceased to evolve in response to numerous parameters that fiction does not glimpse or cannot reveal. The image of a charming and crafty adventurer, seeking redemption, wandering through sands and jungles at the whim of wars, is too fine a picture to withstand the filter of...

How is war waged in the 21st century? Primarily by drones, by eliminating the enemy before he can cause harm. In Yemen, Afghanistan, Palestine or Pakistan, these operations known as "targeted killings " take place out of sight.
