Clandestine Political Violence compares four types of clandestine
political violence: left-wing (in Italy and Germany), right-wing (in
Italy), ethnonationalist (in Spain) and religious fundamentalist (in
Islamist clandestine organizations). Oriented toward theory building,
Della Porta develops her own definition of clandestine political
violence. Building on the most recent developments in social movement
studies, Della Porta proposes an original interpretative model. Using
a unique research design, she singles out some common causal
mechanisms at the onset, during the persistence and at the demise of
clandestine political violence. The development of the phenomenon is
located within the interactions among social movements,
countermovements and the state. She pays particular attention to the
ways different actors cognitively construct the reality they act upon.
Based on original empirical research as well as existing research in
many languages, this book is rich in empirical evidence on some of the
most crucial cases of clandestine political violence.
