Terorizam kao političko-bezbednosni problem

Abstract

Sa tačke gledišta teorije bezbednosti, fenomen terorizma se velikim delom deskriptivno izučava, kroz organizaciju terorističkih grupa, i nastojanjima da se analizira motivacija pojedinih grupa i modeli njihovog odgovora na represivne udare. Istovremeno, međutim, pitanje o tome kakva je suštinska vrednost modela ratovanja protiv terorizma ostalo je velikim delom nerešeno. Iako se terorizam uvek isto ispoljava, percepcija terorizma opredeljejuje reakciju, a u tome politički faktori imaju dominantnu težinu. Princip da nasilje prema civilima ne može biti nagrađeno političkim ustupcima predstavlja jednu od duboko uvreženih vrednosti u zapadnoj civilizaciji, ali iskustveni zaključak da "sa teroristima nema pregovora" ne samo da ne smanjuje, već jednoznačano upućuje da se na taj način širi dijapazon pretnje od terorizma na nove teritorije. Autorka u tekstu argumentuje da dosadašnji rezultati "rata protiv terora", kao i posledice isključive primene represije i oslanjanja na princip nepregovaranja sa teroristima, upućuju na potrebu da se uobičajeni pristup terorizmu kritički preispituje.

Contemporary theoretical approaches to security, by and large, depict terrorism as a phenomenon best comprehended by using descriptive methodologies, via studing terrorist groups, and by analising motivation of particular terrorist groups, and models of response to their actions. Parallely, the core value of war making against terrorism model remains unresolved. Although terrorism appears fundamentaly the same in its every instance, perception of terrorism defines reaction and political factors determine its weight. The principle embedded in the idea that violence against civilians cannot be rewarded with political concessions, stands as one of the deeply rooted values of Western civilization. However, the experience generates the conclusion that the stance "there could be no negotiations with terrorists" is not viable given that it is not diminishing terrorist threat but, quite the contrary, it is facilitating the expansion of terrorism to new territories in every sense of the word. The author provides arguments in the article in support of the conclusion that results of the "war against terror", as a consequencies of exclusive repression and non–negotiation, point towards the necessity to critically.
