“Yeni Terörizm”in Geleceğin Güvenlik Ortamına Etkileri: Daeş Örneği
The Effects of the “New” Terrorism to New Securıty Environment: Deash Example

Summary/Abstract: Terrorism, which can be summarized as the use of violence for political purposes, is not a modern phenomenon but it has a very long historical background. There is no doubt that the terrorist attack carried out by the nineteen Al-Qaida militants against the United States on September 11, 2001 was a complete breaking point for terrorism. It can be said that the parameters of terrorism, started calling as “new terrorism” after this point, have changed drastically with its changing organizational structure and methods. First of all, terrorist organizations have started to be organized as loose and cell-based networks based on a minimum chain of command. Also, it is seen that the weapons of mass destruction are used in addition to conventional ones, and it is observed that these organizations have increased access to weapons of mass destruction. In addition, the ideological structures that underlie the extremist ideas of this new terrorism are politically ambiguous, religious based or mystical motivations. These new terrorist generation do not hesitate to use unusual asymmetric methods of terror that will maximize the loss of life. On the other hand, the internet, which spread all over the world in the 90s and the social media, caught on parallel to internet, offered a more useful channel for the terrorists to make propaganda. In this context, terrorists are specialized in the use and manipulation of social media as well. Terrorism is a greater threat than ever before to the international security environment in this new era, where globalization, triggered by technological developments, facilitates the lives of not only ordinary people but also terrorists by increasing their capabilities and access opportunities. Undoubtedly, it can be said that ISIS become one of the most important representative of new terrorism in terms of used methods and implemented tactics in the such an environment that new terrorism debates began to be held more intensively following to the September 11 attacks. In this context, the effects of the “new terrorism” to future security environment was analyzed in this study through the DAESH terrorist organization, which is one of the best examples of the new terror definition.
