The Reconquista magazine: The legitimization of military interventionism as a solution to terrorism (1978-1981)
Abstract
This paper considers the importance of terrorism in the military magazine Reconquista, and analyses the treatment of this topic by certain members of the editorial team. The purpose of this research is to verify whether Reconquista was used to carry out a strategy with regards to terrorism to legitimize a military intervention, from June 1978 to March 1981. The main source for this research is the magazine, and additional sources include memoirs and personal interviews of magazine staff members and information services officers. Two analyses are conducted: a quantitative analysis and a qualitative analysis of editorials and opinion articles.
