Khaldoun- I don't know of such documentation vis a vis imperial decline, but there is solid documentation in the case of Italy of what was called the "Strategy of Tension," which involved the state creating "right-wing" terrorist groups which engaged in violence (most spectacularly a bombing in a Bologna train station, if I remember correctly, which killed dozens), and then "justified" state repression aimed, of course, at the Left. This was in the period of the late 70s into the 80s. Unfortunately I don't have a citation at my fingertips, but I know there's at least one book-length work on the subject. RH
