Why study ethnic organizations? • 7 of the 10 deadliest organizations have ethnically based ideology or membership, in full or in part (1998-2005 data) • MAR data demonstrates some broad preconditions for ethnic groups to use violence or terrorism, not which specific organizations may use terrorism • Most ethnic groups are represented by multiple organizations that use different mixes of strategies (violent and nonviolent).
Broader Policy Implications • Key problem with terrorism research is its exclusive focus on organizations that engage in terrorism. This limits the questions we can ask. • By focusing on ethnic organizations around the world, we have a natural control group: • We can now ask why some organizations choose violence and terrorism and others do not • We can ask why some groups start and why some groups stop using terrorism
