Terrorism as a Problem of International Security
Terrorism as a Problem of International Security

Summary/Abstract: Terrorism is a security concern and a social phenomenon on a global scale. Since we live in a time of globalization, terrorism knows no boundaries and burdens international security. Its impact is certainly negative not only on human lives and property, but also on citizens’ daily lives, as it produces fear, uncertainty and defeatism. As it develops it takes on different shapes and forms over time, each one more deadly than the previous one. In the same way, it changes its manifestation, resulting in great number of casualties. The fight against terrorism is a task for all actors in the international community. Given the above, a multidimensional way of perceiving terrorism as a securi- ty risk and a threat to international security is necessary. The aim of this paper is to highlight the impact that terrorism has on international security. It will show which measures and actions should be taken by international actors, what constitutes both the reventive and reactive measures. The aim is to emphasize the importance of having two frameworks of counter-terrorism activity, both legal and institutional. This will be achieved by using a comparative and descriptive method and content analysis. The research findings should show the impact of terrorism on international security and to explain how and by what means is the international community countering terrorism. The conclusion will be defined by answering the questions of whether international actors are successfully countering terrorism, whether they are taking appropriate measures and actions and how to enhance their counter-terrorism activity.
