Terrorism and Beyond an International Conference on Terrorism and Low-Level Conflict
Abstract
Overshadowed by events of grander scale-India's invasion of Pakistan, the October War the fall of Vietnam, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan the war between Iran and Iraq-terrorists waged a hundred little wars during the 1970s on the boulevards and back streets from Beirut to Buenos Aires, from Belfast to Bogota. International terrorism, a relatively new phenomenon in 1970, captured headlines throughout the succeeding decade. Growing worldwide terrorism aroused the concern of governments, attracted the attention of scholars, and was the theme of a growing volume of literature. Through their sponsorship of research and conferences, governments supported an increasing body of analysis on the topic. In March 1976, the U.S. Department of State convened a major international conference on terrorism that brought together, in Washington, D.C., government officials and members of the academic and research communities. It was followed in 1977 by a second conference on terrorism, in Evian, France. Subsequent international conferences were held in Berlin in 1978 and in Tel Aviv in 1979.
