A Socio-Historical Analysis of U.S. State Terrorism from 1948 to 2008
| Title: | A Socio-Historical Analysis of U.S. State Terrorism from 1948 to 2008 |
| Author: | Malone, Chad Allen |
| Description: | This thesis is a critical examination of U.S. foreign intervention from 1948 to 2008. Using a comparative/historical analysis of seven cases – -Iran, Guatemala, Indonesia, Chile, Nicaragua, Panama, and Iraq – -this study finds patterns of U.S. state/state-sponsored terror and intervention. Using world-system theory and G. William Domhoff's class-domination theory of power, this study explains how and why the U.S. government, the U.S. military, the CIA, and U.S. corporations participate in economically motivated terrorist acts to support the capitalist mode of production, U.S. investments, and access to markets and natural resources. Finally, this study reveals patterns (in addition to the use of terror) that the U.S. government follows while intervening in the affairs of foreign nations. |
