From Classical Terrorism to 'Global' Terrorism
In: International Journal of Conflict and Violence, Band 1, Heft 2, S. 92-104
Abstract
This article examines the history and the development of terrorism as a research subject for social sciences. It gives an impression of how the subject's theoretical remit has changed over the last decades - explicitly taking into account the characteristics of a modern and global world and their impact on current understandings of terrorism. Terrorism is a minor object for the social sciences; it was even long considered "illegitimate" and neglected by researchers. There are several explanations for this, which I think my long experience in research authorizes me to evoke here. Adapted from the source document.
