SILENCE AGAINST STATE TERRORISM AS A RESULT OF STATE CENTRISM IN TERRORISM RESEARCH

Summary/Abstract: In this study, it is aimed to determine the reasons for the deficiencies in the subject of state terrorism in terrorism research by bringing a critical analysis to the epistemological, ontological and methodological approaches of traditional terrorism studies. In the article, it is concluded that the reason for the researchers to ignore state terrorism and focus on violence originating from non-state actors is the state-centered attitude, and this attitude stems from six reasons. In the study, these were revealed as follows; The emergence process of terrorism studies, the effect of traditional security studies, the impartiality problems of researchers, problem-solving approaches to the issue, the separation of state and non-state actors on the legitimacy of violence, and the limitation of academic freedoms. In this context, it is aimed to present a literature analysis to the reader, based on the approaches to orthodoxy in the discipline of Critical Terrorism Studies, which emerged as a reaction to mainstream terrorism studies.
