This is the fourth edition of Revolutionary and Dissident Movements and the first to appear since 1991. The book's primary focus remains the history and contemporary activities of organizations that seek to challenge by extra-legal means, most commonly violent, the stability of the state. Its coverage includes movements seeking autonomy or secession, groups of the extreme left or right acting outside the constitutional framework, proscribed parties, and governments-in-exile, as well as terrorist organizations with a pan-national agenda.Revolutionary and Dissident Movements includes entries on every independent state in the world, compiled by a team of some 80 specialist contributors. It demonstrates the impact, country by country, of global currents, most notably the rise of Islamist movements and the challenge they pose both to the West and to governments in Islamic states. It also illustrates that, in the world as a whole, by far the greatest toll of human life arises from essentially local conflicts between secessionist movements, often ethnically based, and central authorities, with numerous such movements exercising de facto control over significant territory and populations.This book will be of value to political researchers, diplomats and government officials, journalists, information professionals and others needing digested, accessible and reliable data on this major aspect of the current international scene.

Revolutionary and Dissident Movements of the World

<p>Border and territorial disputes remain a potent source of conflict in many parts of the world. At the time of the first edition of this book in 1982, actively prosecuted disputes remained largely confined to the developing world. However, one consequence of the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 was to re-introduce the spectre of territorial conflict to Europe, where the historic claims and grievances which had ravaged the continent through to World War II had effectively been frozen during the Cold War era. Wars resulted in the Balkans and the Caucasus, while other historic issues re-surfaced in more muted form.<br>The present volume retains the principle of including coverage of disputes settled in recent years, ongoing active disputes, and historically significant disputes that are currently dormant but remain unresolved with the potential to re-erupt. As the record of major wars in the twentieth century linked directly to border and territorial disputes shows, while such disputes are perhaps fewer than conflicts arising from domestic insurgencies, their potential for large-scale violence, engaging rival states and their allies, can be vastly greater.</p>
