Violence in Politics
The calculated use of violent action to attain political ends is as 'old as history'. With access to law and easy communication there is increasing anxiety about using violence for political purposes. The extreme form of violence is war with another nation, but within a state it can be revolution or protest, such as strike action or the recent protest against sporting events with South Africa. Panellists are: Dr. Richard Clutterbuck, retired army Major General and Lecturer in Politics, Exeter University; Peter Haine, Former Chairman, Young Liberals and direct action radical.
