"Twenty-first Century Terrorism: The Definitional Problem of Complex Political Environments"

Discussion Paper

By Marcial Alecio Garcia Suarez, Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 2006-2007

The paper addresses some problems in understanding twenty-first century terrorism. The focus is on the singularity that results from the relationship between complex political environments and aspects of contemporary terrorist actions. The paper focuses on two main aspects of terrorism: the definitional problem and the analytical framework. Such analysis could offer a pathway to the challenges of achieving a clear understanding of terrorism as one of the main political issues of the twenty-first century.
