ist movement claims an ancient history of Basque separation from the Spanish state, tracing this independence to the old Basque laws known as the Fueros and to the Kingdom of Navarra which merged with Spain in the sixteen century ( Michael Von Tangen Page, 1998, page 119). The movement is proscribed as a terrorist organization by the Spanish and French authorities (French list of terrorist organization [3] ), as well as the European Union as a whole (EU list of terrorist organization [4] ) and the United States (Foreign Terrorist organization, FTOs [5] ).

On the other hand, Hamas represents the Islamic extremism according to the international community is designed by the U.S. State department as Foreign Terrorist organization (FTOs). According to Home Office UK is proscribed under UK legislation and has been included in the list of proscribed groups. Hamas fights only one enemy- Israel, Hamas considers itself a resistance fighter. Hamas believes that Israel has to stay inside borders of 1967, but Israel since 11 September is towards a cessation of settlement expansion rather abandonment of settlements outside pre-1967 boundaries (Phil Scraton, 2002, page 1989). At this point, is important to be mentioned that according to M. Bossis [6] , Germany is believed to be the place where many Islamic organizations, like Hezbollah and HAMAS , keep their central governance.

Research design

A research design provides a framework for the collection and analysis of data. A choice of research design reflects decisions about the priority being given to a range of dimensions of the research process (Alan Bryman, 2004, page 27). Under these circumstances, research design is important in order to proceed a research project and to pass to the next step which is to choose research methods. Using case study designs I will try to search strategies in proscribing “terrorist groups”. According to David de vaus (2001), a case is the object of study, is the unit of analysis about which we collect information. My cases are: case of IRA in Northern Ireland, case of ETA in Spain and case of HAMAS in Palestine. In order to be more specific, the type of case study designs I will apply will be multiple case. As far as concern the time period will be between 1970 and nowadays.

As I mentioned above, the selection of the cases was not random. IRA, ETA and HAMAS are proscribed as “terrorist groups”. The counter-terrorism policy has changed and became more strict after 9/11. Researching these cases I will explore the proscription strategies of these organizations. All of my cases “share” similarities and differences which explain the proscription strategies that have been followed for each one so far, by other means explain how these revolutionary groups renamed as “terrorist groups”. The discussion about terrorism and terrorist groups was really intense during 1970 except IRA and ETA, the Western world “has to confront also with the threat” of RAF (Germany) and Red Brigades (Italy) arriving in 2010,specially after 9/11, the world changed, there was no excuse in the existence of such groups.
