The first cluster of thought often relies on a "strong element of input-output rational calculation" (Nilsson, 1999:167) which would correspond with Hoffman's view on the rational nature of terrorism, who cites the rational calculation involved in the planning and execution of acts of violence to achieve a given result (Hoffman, 2006).
As I will be analysing acts of violence committed by groups referred to by the international community as a terrorist network, and who have a stated political aim, I will use Hoffman's politically focused perspective in an initial attempt to understand the motivations and mechanisms behind these acts.
The term was first used in 1793 to describe acts of violence committed by the French government on its people or those it deemed "enemies of the state" during the French Revolution.
Both have also been labelled terrorists by the states, Israel and Russia respectively, who are the primary targets of the group's acts of violence, as well as the majority of the international community, who in turn support their fellow states.
This is a fundamental difference in the nature of the acts of violence committed by both types of terrorist, as the ethno-nationalist will attempt to minimise the number of casualties or the type to that of enemy combatants, as they understand that an act of mass murder aimed at civilians will often have a counter-productive effect on their goal.
