This analysis will be completed via the study pieces that lay the framework for root causes of terrorism generally which will be accompanied by case studies on the PKK, LTTE, and Hamas terrorist movements. The common factors between the different societies within which these terrorist movements take place as well as the variables shared by these terrorist movements will be compared and contrasted.
