Abstract

The aim of this contribution consists in analyzing the "terrorism" through the academic and political struggles about the paradigm of the "new terrorism" since the events of 9/11. Thanks to the exploration of the real difference between "old" and "new" forms of terrorism, this research note argues the interest of a specific research design which implies multiplying levels and focus of analysis from the terrorism groups to counterterrorism actors, society and media. This approach in terms of "scene terroriste" asks in a new point of view the question of continuity of political violence since the bombing attacks of 9/11. Adapted from the source document.
