“…While case studies can constitute highly valuable research approaches if they are designed in a systematic fashion (King et al 1994), research on termination in many instances did not always live up to this standard. In particular, there is a lack of systematic comparisons across countries and across policy areas.…”

“…In speaking about relational causal mechanisms that concatenate to drive radicalization, I intend to trace and analyze those processes and dynamics by which the root causes exert their effects (King et al 1994). Such causality exists at an epistemological level commensurate with social-historical analysis, particularly the analysis of the interplay of social relations over time.…”

Scholars of political terrorism generally agree that the radical group is usually a splinter faction of an opposition movement. Seldom, however, is an attempt made to incorporate insights and tools from the literature on social movements and contentious politics into the study of the process by which a faction splinters from the larger opposition movement and adopts terrorist tactics-a process commonly known as radicalization. Drawing upon the relational approach from the literature on contentious politics, this article seeks to further understanding of radicalization by examining how and when relational mechanisms, operating in their respective relational arenas, interact and combine to drive it. Proposed is a relational framework for a comparative analysis of radicalization at three levels-domestic, ethno-national, and international-employing the case of the Weather Underground, Fatah-Tanzim, and al-Qaeda respectively.

“…Moreover, the problem is accentuated by significant reliance on the case study method where case selections are based on the value of dependent variable, namely, advocacy success. ''Large N'' studies, we suspect, would force researchers to examine cases selected on independent variables (predictors of advocacy success) rather than the dependent variable (King et al 1994).…”
