Abstract

Bu makale öne çıkan iki aşırı sol terörist grubu,
Kızıl Ordu Fraksiyonu (Red Armee Fraktion-RAF) ve Kızıl Tugaylar (Brigate
Rosse-BR) yapılanmalarını ele almaktadır. Aşırı sol terörizme dair kısa bir
tartışmayı takip edecek bölümler bu grupların her birini daha detaylı biçimde
ele alacaktır. İki grubun da bu biçimde detaylı olarak ele alınmasından sonra,
bu grupların yükseliş ve düşüşlerine dair ortak özellikler ve farklar
tartışılacaktır. Böylelikle yalnızca sol terörist gruplara değil, dünya
üzerinde hangi fikri zeminde hareket ederse etsin farklı terörist gruplara dair
de bir nedenselliğin ortaya çıkarılması umulmaktadır. Bu nedensellikten
hareketle bu çalışmanın gelecek çalışmalara kapı açması ve daha etkili terörle
mücadele stratejilerinin tasarlanmasına yardımcı olması arzu edilmektedir.

Factors behind the Rise and Fall of Left-Wing Terrorism in Western Europe: The Cases of Rote Armee Fraktion and Brigate Rosse

Abstract

The article discusses the
rise and fall of the two famous left-wing terrorist groups, namely Rote Armee
Fraktion and Brigate Rosse. After a brief discussion about left-wing extremism,
following sections will focus on each group in more detail. After these
sections, an analysis of commonalities and differences about their rise and fall
will be presented. It is expected that a causal mechanism will be fleshed out
not only regarding left-wing terrorist groups but also terrorist groups all
around the world regardless of their particular mind-set, which can both open
up space for future research and help devising more effective counter-terrorism
strategies.
