This dissertation is a detailed account of Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori's use of coercion and rhetoric against Shining Path's international terrorism campaign. This work considers the spectrum of ploys--from his 5 April 1992 autogolpe to the 13 December 1993 reestablishment of significant international investment--used by Fujimori to create the perception that Peru was safe for international investment. / Chapter One describes the social, political, and economic conditions that Fujimori faced, while pointing to the dearth of communication research concerning Shining Path and Fujimori. Chapter Two reviews the varied literature concerning nonviolent and violent rhetoric, leading to an explanation of the terror-rhetoric genre. Chapter Three presents the historical-critical methods and procedures used in this research. Chapter Four narrates the exchange between Shining Path's international offensives and Fujimori's use of force to contain the group's dissuasive power. Chapter Five then concludes this study by examining how Fujimori's use of terror-rhetoric affected its various audiences. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 56-03, Section: A, page: 0758. / Major Professor: Marilyn J.
