ABSTRACT:
Though the terrorism practiced by the Barbary States of yore and the Islamic State of today are separated by two centuries, there is a considerable amount of overlap between the two that this research seeks to explore. By comparing each of these forms of terrorism to the revised twelve-point academic consensus definition of terrorism compiled in Alex P. Schmid’s Handbook of Terrorism Research, this analysis is able to determine how closely both Barbary and Islamic State terrorism match Schmid’s nuanced definition, as well as what makes each form of terrorism unique. The findings show that Barbary State terrorism is distinct for having been asymmetrically state-regulated, while Islamic State terrorism is distinct for its quasi-state characteristics.
