Research Institute for the Study of Conflict and Terrorism

The Research Institute for the Study of Conflict and Terrorism (RISCT) was founded in 1990 by William Gutteridge as a successor organisation to the Institute for the Study of Conflict. Gutteridge had written books for the ISC.^[1] The RISCT was less overtly political than the ISC, it mostly put out papers on middle-eastern terrorism. It now appears to be defunct.

In November 1990 the Institute received $25,000 from the The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, Inc. which has a record of funding conservative causes including the Heritage Foundation.^[2] The money was ' To support the publication of Conflict Studies and the institute's annual conference.'^[3]
