This webpage was designed by Marcia Catherine Schenck for the World Politics course taught by the Ruth C. Lawson Professor of International Politics, Vincent Ferraro, in the Spring of 2006 at Mount Holyoke College.

For questions, suggestions or comments please do not hesitate to contact Marcia Catherine Schenck at schen20m@mtholyoke.edu

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the following people:

• Vincent Ferraro for being an inspiring professor and giving us the freedom to learn about a topic of our choice.
• Antonina Kruppa for discussing the RAF with me 24/7, being supportive, and a critical reader. The subsection “What is the Red Army Faction (RAF)?” is based on information from her oral presentation “Why women? Ulrike Meinhof (and the RAF)” for the course, Terrorism: Russia Its Cradle, at Mount Holyoke College.
