Daniel Kohler, director of the German Institute for Radicalization and De-Radicalization Studies (GIRDS) in Berlin, based on an authentic personal practical experience in the field of derading, as well as a number of empirical case studies, in this book for the first time, overcomes the gap between academic and practical perspectives on "deradalisation".
This paper provides an overview of relevant knowledge about a complex motivation mechanism in suicide terrorists, their preferences or membership in a particular social environment, and the selection criteria for committing a terrorist attack. This study will also define the conditions under which a terrorist group would use a suicide attack instead conventional tactics. It is known that terrorist organizations are able to use certain "social" and "psychological" methods as a means of propaganda and indoctrination in order to influence these individuals. Their attacks can also act as a signal of group's determination and can additionally serve as an instrument for attracting new recruits and supporters. Understanding motives and ways of thinking of a suicide terrorist can be very complex. In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding, this analysis will cover the sphere of action and motives of terrorist leaders, which can result in additional opportunities to counter suicide-terrorism. The paper will analyze political and educational variables, as well as variables of family morality and religion compared to personal experiences that make the individual commit such acts of violence. An answer will be sought as to how much psychological understanding of persons involved in suicide attacks can help in its prevention. ; U radu se daje pregled relevantnih spoznaja o složenom motivacijskom mehanizmu kod terorista samoubojica, njihovim sklonostima ili pripadnosti određenom društvenom okruženju i kriterijima odabira za izvršavanje terorističkog napada. Također se definira pod kojim će uvjetima teroristička skupina radije koristiti samoubilački napad nasuprot konvencionalnim taktikama. Poznato je da su terorističke organizacije sposobne koristiti neke "socijalne" i "psihološke" metode kao sredstvo propagande i indoktrinacije u cilju utjecaja na ove pojedince. Njihovi napadi također mogu poslužiti kao znak određivanja skupine i mogu dodatno poslužiti kao instrument za privlačenje novih novaka i pristaša. Razumijevanje motiva i načina razmišljanja terorista samoubojice može biti vrlo složeno. Da bi se dobio sveobuhvatniji pogled, analiza treba obuhvatiti sferu djelovanja i motive terorističkih lidera, čime se mogu otvoriti dodatne mogućnosti da se suprotstavi samoubilačkom terorizmu. U radu se analiziraju varijable političkog i obrazovnog faktora, te obiteljskog morala i vjere u usporedbi s osobnim iskustvima onoga što pogađa pojedinca da izvrši takva djela nasilja. Traži se odgovor koliko psihološko razumijevanje osoba uključenih u samoubilačke napade može pomoći u prevenciji.

Abstract The importance of certain tax forms for the economy of any country is confirmed by the fact that they can be used to impact on the achievement of fiscal aims as they play a significant role when it comes to their share in a total amount of public revenue of certain countries. Another important characteristic of taxes is that they can affect the trends of gross domestic product (GDP) as one of the most important economic indicators of achieved development of a national economy. It is for this reason that we must point out that the authors will pay special attention to determining the impact that corporate income tax has on trends of gross domestic product in the Republic of Serbia and their interdependency. This will provide an answer to a question whether corporate income taxes have a positive effect on gross domestic product trends and what is its relation with this indicator. On the basis of quantitative research, through the application of regression analysis, the authors will confirm or refute the hypothesis concerning this problem. Finally, we will reach a conclusion which will offer answers to questions related to the impact of this tax type tax on the gross domestic product trends, the extent of the impact and its nature – whether it has a positive or a negative effect on gross domestic product trends in the Republic of Serbia
