TERRORISM – CONCEPTUAL DIFFICULTIES
Keywords: Terrorism; definition; counterterrorism strategy; typology; Romania
Terrorism simply appears to be one of those concepts impossible to define, if one tries to keep out of one ideological fallacy or another.

The issue of methodological clarity is increasingly important in the current security environment, as no effective counterterrorism strategy can be devised in its absence.
