The Strategies of Counter Terrorism in Western Europe: The Cases of IRA and ETA

Yıl 2025, Cilt: 9 Sayı: 1, 53 - 77, 31.05.2025

Öz

This article frameworks a comparative investigation of the underlying causes and effects of ethnic separatist terrorism through the case studies of the IRA and ETA in Western Europe. Drawing on theoretical perspectives including primordialism, modernism, ethno-symbolism, and constructivism, the study explores the structural foundations of these movements, their recruitment dynamics, and the role of ethnic identity in sustaining group loyalty. The research further investigates the counterterrorism strategies employed by the UK and Spain, emphasizing the importance of both coercive measures during high-intensity conflict and political, economic, and social strategies during periods of reduced violence. A key conclusion is that long-term success in counterterrorism requires an integrated approach involving democratic political reforms, legal adjustments, and international cooperation. The study’s comparative framework and its integration of multiple theoretical and empirical tools represent a significant contribution to the academic literature on ethnic terrorism and conflict resolution.

Batı Avrupa'da Terörizme Karşı Mücadele Stratejileri: IRA ve ETA Örnekleri

Yıl 2025, Cilt: 9 Sayı: 1, 53 - 77, 31.05.2025

Öz

Bu makale, Batı Avrupa’da IRA ve ETA örnekleri üzerinden etnik ayrılıkçı terörizmin temel nedenleri ve sonuçlarını karşılaştırmalı bir analizle ele almaktadır. Primordializm, modernizm, etno-sembolizm ve yapısalcılık gibi kuramsal yaklaşımlardan yararlanılarak, bu hareketlerin yapısal temelleri, örgütlenme ve militan devşirme dinamikleri ile etnik kimliğin grup bağlılığını sürdürmedeki rolü incelenmektedir. Araştırma ayrıca, Birleşik Krallık ve İspanya’nın uyguladığı terörle mücadele stratejilerini inceleyerek, yüksek yoğunluklu çatışma dönemlerinde zorlayıcı önlemlerin, şiddetin azaldığı dönemlerde ise siyasi, ekonomik ve sosyal stratejilerin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Çalışmanın temel bulgularından biri, terörle mücadelede uzun vadeli başarının, demokratik siyasi reformlar, yasal düzenlemeler ve uluslararası iş birliğini içeren bütüncül bir yaklaşım gerektirdiğidir. Makalenin karşılaştırmalı çerçevesi ve çoklu kuramsal ve ampirik araçları bir arada kullanması, etnik terörizm ve çatışma çözümü literatürüne önemli bir akademik katkı sunmaktadır.
