Abstract

This article examines the state of academic research on terrorist developments in Europe. The author, a U.S. government terrorism analyst, argues that more research articles should be aimed at the "terrorism analyst" rather than the "policymaker." Several suggested research topics are presented, for example, more articles on GRAPO in Spain, the Revolutionary Organization 17 November in Greece, the Revolutionary Left in Turkey, the Red Army Faction in Germany, Middle Eastern terrorist activity in Western Europe, and an examination of propaganda outlets used by European "fighting communist organizations." The author also projects an increase in ethnic, neo‐communist, and Middle Eastern terrorism in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. A list of U.S. government publications on terrorism is presented, as is a plea for more interaction (conferences, seminars, etc.) between U. S. government terrorism analysts and academic researchers concerned with terrorism.
