We aim at saying as much as possible about the spectra of three classes of linear diffusion operators involving nonlocal terms. In all but one cases, we characterize the minimum \begin{document} $λ_p$ \end{document} of the real part of the spectrum in two max-min fashions, and prove that in most cases \begin{document} $λ_p$ \end{document} is an eigenvalue with a corresponding positive eigenfunction, and is algebraically simple and isolated; we also prove that the maximum principle holds if and only if \begin{document} $λ_p>0$ \end{document} (in most cases) or \begin{document} $≥ 0$ \end{document} (in one case). We prove these results by an elementary method based on the strong maximum principle, rather than resorting to Krein-Rutman theory as did in the previous papers. In one case when it is impossible to characterize \begin{document} $λ_p$ \end{document} in the max-min fashion, we supply a complete description of the whole spectrum.
