'Spoiler' Violence And Other Myths: A Mixed Methods Study Of Paramilitaries’ Use Of Force In Northern Ireland, Claire Tam Jan 2015

'Spoiler' Violence And Other Myths: A Mixed Methods Study Of Paramilitaries’ Use Of Force In Northern Ireland, Claire Tam

Honors Thesis Collection

While many scholars have written about ‘spoilers,’ actors committed to the use of violence in an effort to undermine political negotiations, there have been few attempts to systematically test whether theories of spoiling behavior truly effectively explain armed nonstate actors’ use of force.

At the time it was only one of many protean artistic experiments taking shape at Black Mountain College, a hotbed of intellectual activity where artists’ ideas circulated freely across the disciplines of music, dance, and the visual arts. Black Mountain fostered a collaborative setting for some of the most important creative minds of the second half of the twentieth century, yet during that summer their place in the American artistic pantheon was far from guaranteed. My thesis …
