Abstract

21. stoljeće razlikuje se od prijašnjih razdoblja terorizma, pa ga se naziva dobom suvremenog, informacijskog terorizma. Takvo ciljno usmjereno nasilje utječe na cijeli svijet, pa se stoga posljedice razmatraju u odnosu na globalno društvo i odnose. U skladu s tim, u radu se promatraju obilježja terorističkih organizacija usporedno sa mogućnostima koje im je pružilo suvremeno doba. Prvi dio donosi pregled različitih poimanja definicije terorizma i njegove tipologije, s obzirom na različite motive zbog kojih se pojavljuju. Drugi dio se bavi karakteristikama suvremenog terorizma, njegove različitosti s obzirom na prijašnje faze terorističkog djelovanja. Posebno poglavlje je posvećeno samoubilačkom terorizmu, kao specifičnom obilježju suvremenog terorizma. Također, terorizam se razmatra s obzirom na utjecaj medija na njihove organizacijske akcije, što nas dovodi do promišljanja o odnosima i konceptu moći koji leži u samom centru njihove strukture. U preostalom dijelu drugog poglavlja, prikazuje se njihova mrežna struktura na primjeru Al-Qa'ide i izvori financiranja terorističkih organizacija. Zaključno, rad donosi američku strategiju globalnog rata protiv terorizma.

Abstract (english)

Nowadays terrorism is different from previous periods of terrorism and it is called modern, information terrorism. Such target-oriented violence affects the whole world, and therefore the consequences are considered in relation to the global society and relationships. Accordingly, the paper analyzes the characteristics of a terrorist organization toward opportunities that provide the present age. The first part provides an overview of the different understanding of the definitions of terrorism and its typology. The second part deals with the characteristics of modern terrorism and its differences compared with the previous phase of terrorist agency. As a specific feature of nowadays terrorism, there is a special chapter dedicated to suicide terrorism. Also, terrorism is being considered due to the influence of the media on their organizational action, which leads us to reflect on the relationships and the concept of power that lies in the middle of their structure. The rest of the second chapter shows their network structure on the example of Al-Qa'ida and sources of their financing. In conclusion, the paper offers a US strategy of global war against terrorism.
