Summary/Abstract: Terrorism simply appears to be one of those concepts impossible to define, if one tries to keep out of one ideological fallacy or another. Many have tried, but few have succeded to find a definition that would meet the required methodological standards. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to browse through several definitions of terrorism in order to identify what are the common elements among them. The issue of methodological clarity is increasingly important in the current security environment, as no effective counterterrorism strategy can be devised in its absence.
