https://doi.org/10.31249/poln/2018.04.05
Abstract
The article examines the influence of digitalization (informational revolution) on development of political terrorism in the present day. It is stated that digitalization would make many societies lag further and further behind, which would deepen the social and political conflict and empower terrorism as a special kind of such conflict. At the same time, it would create conditions for the rise of new methods and forms of political terrorism such as cyberterrorism. The author shows the relationships between political terrorism and media structures, namely the interest of the media to follow the terrorists’ activities and new ways terrorists can use media in a digitalized society. The article goes on to discuss how the informational policy is changing in respect to terrorism and in general terms the measures to efficiently prevent it.
