INR 4084 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Raymond Aron, Conventional Warfare
Document Summary
Preventive warfare is when you"re pretty sure that a country is going to attack you soon but you know that if you get one big attack it will stop the whole thing. Different kinds of terrorism: anti-state: when a non gov"t group is trying to overthrow a gov"t target. Usually way bigger in casualties as opposed to anti-state due to the resources that are available to them. Targets are usually not those attacked but the survivors instead. Terrorism is usually broadcasted bc attackers need the fear meanwhile genocide is usually done in the dark to prevent knowledge of whats going on. Valid de nitions of terrorism must distinguish terrorism from conventional warfare, and other criminal activity. It also needs to include both state and anti-state terrorism and their has to be a terroristic aspect to it about wanting to spread fear.
