Events throughout the 1990s have repeatedly demonstrated the perilous conditions of international security in the post-Cold War era. Moribund peace processes, ethnic and religious strife, domestic and international terrorism, disputes over natural resources, and transnational organized crime are but a few of the many challenges confronting the world as we approach the new millennium. Studies in Conflict and Terrorism aims to cast new light not only on traditional sources of national and sub-national conflict but also on the range of new and emerging security issues. The journal seeks to publish the best theoretical and empirical studies that contribute to a better understanding of the causes of these conflicts, their escalation, and the measures required to achieve their resolution. In a world of diverse and changing threats, enigmatic adversaries, and continued uncertainty, the goal is to provide fresh insight, thoughtful analysis, and authoritative prescriptions to the most pressing concerns that will affect global security in the 21st century.

Along with extensive data on radical activities, these records contain a wealth of detail on newly arrived immigrants (one of military intelligence’s favorite targets in the early years covered by the collection). Furthermore, the documents provide valuable inside information on the way in which antisubversive policies were planned and executed at high levels of the federal government, by regional military commanders, and by local authorities. The most copious records in the collection are those covering the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Also well covered in the collection is the incipient American Communist movement. Hardly neglected are various anarchist, socialist, social democratic, and civil libertarian groups whose activities caused concern among military intelligence officers. 34 reels/55 page guide in Reference

This file, of which approximately 17,000 pages have been released and are included in this collection (from a 17,700 total), was one of two secret files Hoover maintained in his office. (The other was destroyed soon after his death in 1972.) Hoover's office files contain important policy documents pertaining to wiretapping, bugging, break-ins, and authorizations to investigate subversive activities. Other documents provide insights into the relationship between the FBI director and several Presidents, as well as other prominent Americans. Chronologically, the file is strongest in the 1940s and 1950s. 17 reels/35 page guide in Reference
