<p>Abstract</p><p>This study has two aims:</p><p>[X] to create an analytical framework consisting of factors that might trigger terrorism</p><p>[X] to apply the analytical framework on the case of IRA, in order to be able to examine</p><p>which factors that exist behind the appearance of terrorism in the current case</p><p>To reach the first aim the author has studied the theoretical discourse on the complexed issue</p><p>of terrorism. This has constituted the point of departure for the creation of an own analytical</p><p>framework. The purpose of the framework is to bring clearness to why terrorism appears. The</p><p>analytical framework is not only suited for application on the case of IRA, but for application</p><p>on terrorismcases in general. To reach the second aim the framework was applied on the case</p><p>of IRA.</p><p>The aims of this study have been fulfilled through the method of qualitative text analysis. The</p><p>research method has been applied on the theoretical discourse on terrorism as well as on the</p><p>empirical texts that deal with the conflict in Northern Ireland and the NorthernIrish society in</p><p>general.</p><p>The results of the study suggest that factors triggering terrorism Favourable surroundings,</p><p>Resources, Possibility to recruit members, Protracted armed conflict, Occupation, Strive for</p><p>autonomy, Diplomatic deadlock, Poverty, and Specific events, or actions from the opponent</p><p>all exist in the case at hand. The author would particularly like to highlight the importance of</p><p>the Diplomatic deadlock and Poverty as terrorismtriggering factors.</p>
