INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM AS AN ASSYMETRIC THREAT. CHARACTERISTICS AND MEANS TO FIGHT AGAINST IT

Summary/Abstract: Terrorism is without any doubt one of the most serious asymmetric security threats to human society in the 21st century. No country, despite the political, security, legislative, organizational, and other measures taken, is currently fully resilient to terrorist attacks. Terrorist activities are carried out worldwide and pose a threat to society in many developed and under development countries. At present, unfortunately, terrorism can also hit anyone, anywhere, anytime. Terrorist attacks cause not only incalculable financial and material damage, but also considerable loss of life and very difficult mental disorders. These are the reasons why the author, using relevant methods of scientific research, deals with the trends in the motivation for terrorism, which is based on rational choice, and religious and cultural aspects and on the terrorism changes. In the second part of the article, he examines starting points of counter-terrorism measures, discusses the principle of asymmetry, describes the pre-emptive strategy and explains the concept of the just war theory.
