Terrorism: socio-political aspects

Аннотация

Scientific approach to a study of any phenomenon assumes detection of its entity and relationships
of cause and effect. Exists any doubts that search in a concept of terrorism requires a study of different
aspects of its research as reviewings of an entity of terrorism, its historical, socio-political, ideological
and psychological roots. Now the world community denies any manifestations of terrorism including for
the embodiment in life of any socio-political purposes. But nevertheless it does not cancel the existence
of terrorism, this social phenomenon not only did not brake development, but also gains steam. Terror
continues to be used as a fight method by a row of extremist groups. But to begin effective fight and to
prevent the subsequent acts of terrorism, it is necessary to clarify an entity of this phenomenon. Many
researchers of problems of terrorism meet that this politically motivated application or threat of application
of extreme forms of violence. Any act of terrorism bears in itself a political charge as violence in
the form of terrorism appears the instrument of saving or, on the contrary, changes of the policy pursued in the country. Therefore terrorism should be considered as the socio-political phenomenon posing an
explicit threat to the vital interests of the personality, society and state. In spite of the fact that mountains
of literature hardly are devoted to terrorism it is possible to claim that it was succeeded to analyse and
describe it as the uniform complete phenomenon. Moreover, there is a doubt in a basic possibility of the
similar analysis. Certainly, the similar task isn’t set for themselves also by authors of this article. A task
her – to stop only on some manifestations of modern terrorism.
