ABSTRACT
We have examined in the previous chapters a series of explanations and models which looked at organizational behavior as a result either of some external factors or as a matter of strategy. We now consider approaches which conceptualize terrorism as perpetrated by organizations in the context of broader and dynamic processes of interaction between various actors. Similar to Chapter 6, we refer here to studies from the social movement research tradition, as well as socio-psychological scholarship which has produced similar or complementary concepts. Different to relational approaches to individual involvement in terrorism, we see here less determinism and more strategic elements and consequently more parallels with intentional approaches to organizational behavior.
