Terrorism: A Non-Traditional Threat
Terrorism is a different kind of danger compared to traditional threats like wars between countries. It’s what we call a non-traditional threat.
Traditional threats were often clear-cut conflicts between nations with armies fighting each other. Rules of war, though harsh, existed. Terrorism is unlike this. Terrorists are often groups without a clear national base. They don’t follow these rules.
Terrorism involves targeting civilians to spread fear and achieve political goals. These attacks are unexpected and can happen anywhere, making them difficult to prevent and respond to. Unlike traditional wars, the enemy is often hidden within societies, making it challenging to identify and combat.
Moreover, terrorism can destabilize governments, disrupt economies, and erode public trust. Its far-reaching consequences make it a complex and persistent threat to global security.
