A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In recent years, not only in Spain but in the West in general, we have been witnesses to a war against phenomena broadly grouped together under the heading of "terrorism" and yet the problem not only continues, but moreover, there does not appear to be any major signal that would indicate to us that those who belong to "the other side"-the "terrorists"-may be weakening. Just as in Afghanistan, President Obama's administration appears to have settled on a policy of separating the moderates from the radicals within the ranks of the Taliban and seeing into the possibilities of negotiating with them. In Spain too, various administrations, ever since democracy returned to Spain with the death of Franco on November 20, 1975, and the promulgation of a new constitution on December 6, 1977, have tried to negotiate with Euskadi eta Askatasuna-ETA (Basque Homeland and Freedom in the Basque language)-in order to end the problem of nationalist-separatist political violence in the Basque Country in northern Spain, including the provinces of Araba, Gipúzkoa, Navarre, and Bizkaia.

Biographie de l'auteur

Dr. Siamak Khatami received his doctoral degree (Ph.D) in the United States of America, from the University of Kansas, in political science, specializing in comparative politics, international relations and political sociology. He has done extensive research and writing on nationalism and political violence, focusing on different cases in Europe. His interest began with the Basque Country, where he studied the causes of political violence and possible solutions to it. When a peace process for the Basque Country began officially in 2006 (unofficially even before that year), he began an extensively researching that process, including interviews with many of the main protagonists directly involved in it, and the current book is a result of that research. Additionally, he has written about the politics, history and international relations of the Middle Eastern and Latin American countries like Iran and Argentina. He is currently a consultant and university professor in Spain, teaching at several universities in Madrid.
