Three classifications of states for further
comparative analysis: states experiencing collective political violence with excessive targeting of
civilians (CPVCIV), states experiencing political violence without excessive targeting of
civilians (CPVNOCIV), and states without collective political violence. The first two
classifications provided ordinal magnitude scales, ranging from 1 to 4; the third classification
was used as a common baseline control set (scaled value “0�).

Title 22 of the US Code, Section 2656f, which requires the Department of State to provide an annual report to Congress
on terrorism, requires the report to include, inter alia, information on terrorist groups and umbrella groups under
which any terrorist group falls, known to be responsible for the kidnapping or death of any US citizen during the
preceding five years; groups known to be financed by state sponsors of terrorism about which Congress was notified
during the past year in accordance with Section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act; and any other known international
terrorist group that the Secretary of State determined should be the subject of the report. The list of designated
Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) below is followed by a list of other selected terrorist groups also deemed of
relevance in the global war on terrorism. Does not include US domestic groups.

The Collective Political Violence (CPV) scale reflects general, ordinal levels of state, non-state,
and communal group violence within a particular country during the 1990s. The scale also
reflects whether the episode(s) of collective political violence resulted in an excessive targeting
of civilians. The term “excessive targeting of civilians� focuses on the deliberate and systematic
use of violence against non-combatant populations in situations of political conflict by either
state or non-state actor groups that can be considered in excess of the general suffering of
civilian populations that is associated with warfare.
