What is terrorism?
In: Behavioral sciences of terrorism & political aggression, Band 3, Heft 3, S. 161-175
Abstract
The vagueness that attends the notion of terrorism is a source of constant confusion. This article proposes to shift the discussion from the concept of terrorism to that of terror, in the psychological sense of the term, and thus open up a new perspective on the analysis of the emotional impact of political violence. This requires us to refine the conceptual framework and make the terminology we use compatible with the empirical data we have on the psychological sequelae of violence. Adapted from the source document.
