Researching terrorism: Discussion outline
https://doi.org/10.31249/poln/2018.04.01
Abstract
The article analyzes the state of the research of non-state terrorism, methodological research problems of studying terrorism, conceptualization, operationalization of terrorism and typologies of terrorist activities, structural factors and root causes of terrorism, analysis of terrorists’ behavior from the rational choice perspective and the relationship between political regimes and the risk of terrorism. Special attention is given to ethnic terrorism in divided societies and structural causes fostering terrorism. At present the academic consensus has been reached about the minimalist definition of terrorism as a protest strategy using the means or threat of violence against civilians, but there is no agreement about main preconditions, factors and triggers of terrorism.
