Terrorism and Counterterrorism

Abstract:

Terrorism remains a pervasive global threat, affecting numerous countries and posing significant challenges to international security. The nature of terrorism has evolved, with extremist groups leveraging technology and social media for recruitment and propaganda. Key regions affected by terrorism include the Middle East, South Asia, and parts of Africa. Counterterrorism strategies involve a combination of military, intelligence, and law enforcement efforts, along with policies aimed at preventing radicalization. International cooperation is crucial, as terrorist networks operate across borders. Recent trends highlight the rise of domestic terrorism in Western countries, adding complexity to counterterrorism efforts. Addressing the root causes of terrorism, such as political instability, economic disparity, and social grievances, is essential for long-term solutions.
