@article{article_21118, title={The New Terrorism Debate}, journal={Alternatives: Turkish Journal of International Relations}, volume={6}, pages={28–43}, year={2007}, author={Brown, Cody}, abstract={<p>This paper explores whether or not the traits found in the new terrorism paradigm correspond <br />with Hamas’ behavioral and organizational characteristics. By focusing on the core concepts <br />of the new terrorism paradigm this paper discusses how Hamas fits within the parameters laid <br />out by those concepts, and compares these assumptions with the analysis of Hamas’ behavior <br />in some of the recent terrorism literature. Based on this comparison this paper argues Hamas <br />is less ideologically/religiously motivated, as the new terrorism argues, and more politically <br />as well as structurally motivated. This conclusion therefore argues that the weight placed on <br />the relevance of the new terrorism perspective should be reevaluated. </p>}, number={3&4}, publisher={Yalova Üniversitesi}
