How and why does someone become a terrorist? Are there common causes?

Occasionally, militaries during times of peace achieve major warfighting innovations. Terry Pierce calls these ’disruptive innovations’. The more common innovation phenomenon, however, has been that of integrating new technologies to help perform existing missions better and not change them radically. The author calls these ’sustaining innovations’. The central theme of this book is that senior leaders who have successfully managed disruptive innovations disguised them as sustaining in order to ensure their innovations survived.The recent innovation history suggests two

These papers resulted from a research project entitled "Federalism and Compounded Representation in Western Europe". They place analytical emphasis on theoretical and contextual issues of representation, and tend to analyze the complexities of representation within federal systems by focusing on issues of social identity, multiple territorial bases of governance, and policy-making institutions such as interest groups, corporatism, and the European Union. Specific countries examined include Germany, Austria and Spain.
