TERORISMUL ȘI COMUNICAREA STRATEGICĂ: ÎNTRE INSTRUMENT DE MANIPULARE ȘI VECTOR AL SECURITĂȚII NAȚIONALE
TERRORISM AND STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION: BETWEEN TOOL OF MANIPULATION AND VECTOR OF NATIONAL SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary terrorism transcends its traditional violent dimension, emerging as a complex phenomenon of influence in which strategic communication becomes a central weapon. Terrorist groups today exploit the information environment for propaganda, radicalization, and psychological manipulation, leveraging fear and societal vulnerabilities to amplify their impact. In response, the strategic communication efforts of states and security institutions represent an essential line of defense – strengthening social resilience, countering hostile narratives, and safeguarding public trust in authorities. This article analyzes the intertwined relationship between terrorism and strategic communication, illustrating the tactics employed by non-state actors and the corresponding institutional responses. Emphasis is placed on best practices and adaptive strategies for countering extremist narratives and influence campaigns in the face of new asymmetric threats.
