Summary/Abstract: Because terrorism has become a transnational threat, the author believes that the solution should have a global character. This means that international cooperation is required. In reality, states cooperate only partially, and cooperation is limited only to a few concrete aspects and a certain number of states. Beyond the differences in interpreting the phenomenon, the explanation for this situation resides in the American National Strategy for Combating Terrorism, promoted by formed President George W. Bush, in the lack of trust that exists at the level of the international system regarding states’ honesty, as well as in the perceptions related to braking national sovereignty. Some states perceive the actions taken by military forces as something that increases the probability of new terrorist attacks, in other words they consider that an endless spiral of violence has to be dealt with.
