I fo?ljande uppsats underso?ks det hindunationalistiska partiet Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) och hur muslimer beskrivs av partiet efter bomb- och skjutattackerna i Mumbai 2008, fram till 2012. Huvudmaterialet fo?r uppsatsen a?r publicerade tal fra?n partiets hemsida, vilka analyseras utifra?n en kritisk diskursanalys. I talen framga?r en specifik terror-diskurs da?r Terrorism uteslutande sammankopplas med islamistiska grupper och organisationer.

This text concerns itself with war, the just war theory, and the application of that doctrine on the ?war on Terrorism?. I present different views on the theory's place in the discourse, its relevance for unconventional wars followed by the analyses of above mentioned empirical situation.Particular interest is given the criteria concerning proportionality, both ad bellum and in bello, due to in part its difficult nature, and the attention it has received from others. This paper asks the question: Is the just war theory adequate for analysis of modern war?There are few alternatives.

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken diskurs som präglar nyhetsartiklar (från Dagens Nyheter och Aftonbladet) som handlar om Terrorism och terrorister. Teori: Studien görs ur ett diskursanalytiskt och semiotiskt perspektiv genom att studera artiklarnas huvudsakliga ämne, den schematiska strukturen samt hur ordföljden och ordvalet ser ut i nyhetstexterna. Metod: Undersökningen grundar sig dels på en kvantitativ analys där artiklarnas huvudsakliga ämne bestäms, dels på en djupare, kvalitativ analys där nyhetstexterna granskas mer ingående gällande den språkliga formen. Resultat: Resultaten visar att den språkmässiga skillnaden i rapporteringen om Terrorism i artiklarna från de båda tidningarna är marginell. Den största skillnaden ligger dels på det kvantitativa planet gällande de huvudsakliga ämnena, dels på den schematiska uppbyggnaden.

The aim of this study was to find out if the use of the concepts ?Terrorism' and ?organized crime' has changed after the event on 11 September, 2001 when terrorists attacked World Trade Center and Pentagon. In this study I make use of discourse theory in a way which is inspired by the writings of Winther Jorgensen and Phillips. Knowledge acquired through this research has been primarily generated from two Swedish Government Official Reports concerning questions arising from introducing secret police surveillance. In these reports, there are many opinions from authorities whom have given their thoughts on introducing new ways of policing which are very interesting to analyze.

Denna studie tar avstamp i det mycket komplexa fenomenet Terrorism. Ett stort problem med Terrorism är svårigheten att förutspå när och var människor kommer använda detta verktyg. Terrorismens orsaker omgärdas av en tät dimma som denna studie ämnar hjälpa till att skingra i form av en teorikonsumerande fallstudie. Tre olika teorier om strukturella orsaker till Terrorism appliceras på fallet Nordirland för att illustrera hur olika teoretiska ansatser kan användas för att förklara ett och samma fall. Dessutom görs ett försök att värdera dessa tre teorier gentemot varandra.

In the post Cold-War era, world politics was transforming itself through its emerging complex issues such as Terrorism and influential and interdependent actors such as the European Union. In this new era, the European Union was developing its Common Foreign and Security Policy pillar both to present a coherent and unified EU policy and to prove its political potent in order to become an influential actor on world politics. On the other side, security environment was also transforming its content through emerging actors and issues. As one of the most prominent actors of the world politics, the EU was influenced by the transformation of security environment, whose economic ?soft power? proved necessary but insufficient for being a global power in this emerging security environment.

Linda Larsson (2010)Syftet med uppsatsen är att göra en litteraturstudie och genom den försöka se om det finns någon koppling mellan islam och Terrorism. Jag skall se på vad andra forskare skrivit om ämnet och se ur vilka aspekt de tagit upp mina valda frågeställningar. Jag har valt att ha 11 september och den terrorattack som skedde då samt den massmediala bevakningen av denna händelse som utgångspunkt för min uppsats. Det jag kommer fram till är att religionen som enskild faktor inte ligger bakom Terrorismen men att den sammankopplad med sociala, politiska och ekonomiska faktorer faktiskt inverkar. Dessa faktorer påverkar varandra och kan tillsammans utgöra en negativ grundstomme för Terrorismen.Islamism och Terrorism, En kvalitativ studie av sambandet mellan religionen islam och Terrorismen i världen: C-uppsats, religionsvetenskap.

C-uppsats kandidat 2011Title: Media ? terroristens medhjälpare? Författare: Christoffer WiklöwSpråk: svenskaInstution: JMK, Stockholm Universitet En kvalitativ studie om New York Times språkbruk kring Terrorism. De valda frågeställningarna blev:Hur är New York Times språkbruk kring Terrorism och 9/11 2001, respektive 2011? Hur har mass-mediated Terrorism-diskursen förändrats mellan året 2001 och året 2011 i New York Times nyhetsartiklar om Terrorism och 9/11? Hur ser en reporter på sin roll som skribent om 9/11, och hur kommer detta att indikera på att journalisten kanske faller offer för att vara terroristens medhjälpare?Och materialet för studien blev fyra artiklar från New York Times, och en intervju med en skribent bakom en av artiklarna. Teorival blev en kritisk teori-inriktad del med en socialkonstruktionisktisk infallsvinkel som stöd.

The aim of this study is through a policy analysis to illuminate the decisions that the EU has taken to respond to the terrorist attacks in the US, Madrid and London and through this analysis try to explain the problem of each decision and find out if these decisions might risk the individual rights of the European Union?s citizens.In order to reach this purpose the following questions are to be answered: In what way has the EU?s decision-making process, regarding its fight on Terrorism, been affected by the terrorist attacks in Madrid and London? What consequences may the EU?s decisions against Terrorism have on the individual rights?The method that has been used is qualitative studies of literature and the main material is overarching policy documents from the EU.The conclusions are that the bombings in Madrid and London have increased the speed of the decision-making process and more areas have been included in the union?s fight against Terrorism. If individual rights are at risk by the union?s decisions there are reasons to be concerned. But my conclusion is that the European Union has to have strong and effective instruments to answer to the threat of Terrorism..

AbstractThe purpose of this theses is to compare three different political groups, The IRA, The Baader-Meinhof group and the Al Qaida, who have all used terroristic methods to achieve their separate goals.By finding out about their history, goals, structures and methods I have made a comparison to see what joins them, what separates them, what originated the birth of their movements and how they can or could proceed with their violent actions to the point that they had actual impact on international politics.It has all been done through a litteraturebased study.My focuse has been on Al Qaida since it's is the only one of the three who is still active today and who, through its cellstructure, represents a new form of global Terrorism that may have great influence on the structural patterns of other political groups and criminal organizations in the future.Key words:Al QaidaBaader-MeinhofIRATerrorismCellstructure.

Uppsatsen behandlar konflikten mellan Israel och Palestina ur självmordsterroristers och terroristers synvinkel. Intresset riktas mot förklaringarna bakom självmordsTerrorism och Terrorism och medias betydelse för de studerade fenomenen uppmärksammas.Uppsatsens syfte är att finna och analysera de förklaringar som finns i vetenskaplig litteratur och i svensk kvällspress till självmordsTerrorism och Terrorism. Att kortfattat diskutera likheter och skillnader mellan förklaringarna ingår också i uppsatsens syfte.För analysen av de funna förklaringarna både i vetenskaplig litteratur och i svensk kvällspress används artiklar från C. Wright Mills och Marvin B. Scott & Stanford M.

In 1992, the European Union began institutionalizing the cooperation against Terrorism within the EU structure. Since then, this cooperation has gone through a number of changes. From a historical institutionalistic point of departure we explain these changes by identifying sources of institutional resilience and institutional change. Based on these results, we were able to pose hypotheses of when and what category of change was most likely to take place.The results show that the cooperation against Terrorism within the EU was most likely to remain stable because of strong sources of institutional resilience. If change would occur through an increase in the sources of institutional change, it was most likely to be of a less extensive category.

The ambition of this paper is to study the construction of the categorization between ?us? and ?them? in a religious minority, represented by Jehovah?s Witnesses and a nationalist political party, represented by the Swedish Democrats. This will be done by a discursive psychology analysis of their official publications on each group?s website. By a deductive study using Henri Tajfel?s Social Identity Theory trying to disclose the psychological processes; social categorization, social identity, social comparison and psychological distinctiveness.

In this thesis I analyse and discuss what impact the 2003 U.S lead intervention in Iraq, had for the cooperation against global Terrorism between the European Union and the United States. Six years have passed since the Bush administration decided to go on with the intervention, even though they did not have the necessary UN mandate. Due to unsuccessful argumentation in favour of the intervention by the Bush administration, the world got divided. George W. Bush reference to a ?war on terror?, which passed almost unnoticed by Americans, rang alarm bells in many European countries.

The aim with this study is to achieve an increased understanding and knowledge about terrorist groups. The factors that the study come to be focused around is the groups' objectives, their organization, which enemies they have and with which means that they use for there Terrorism. In order to respond to this aim the four different terrorist groups, Colombian revolutionary armed forces (FARC), Baskien - our native country and our freedom (ETA), red Army fraction (RAF) and al Qaida is studied.To achieve the aim of this study the methods qualitative text analysis and comparative method is being used. It is designed also within the framework of this study a categorization model that is used as method in order to do a division of the studied groups based on their objective, enemies, organization and means. The model is also constructed to be used in order to analyze others terrorist groups than these current groups.The result of the study is presented in the categorization model on page 32 in the essay..
