GLOBALNI TERORIZAM I NJEGOVE IMPLIKACIJE NA MEĐUNARODNE ODNOSE. (Croatian)

GLOBAL TERRORISM AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS. (English)

The raise of individualism, the end of the Cold War, and the increasing role of non-state actors have caused international relations to transform into a much more complex system. This new system has created many communities which feel themselves to be victims. Such populations may abandon rational debate and retreat into "learned despair", only communicating through violence. Regional conflicts have spread, and this has in turn been exploited by the hegemonic powers as they seek to consolidate their positions. Many more conflicts are likely to result from the growth in world population, climate change, energy and water shortages. In this context, terrorist groups are likely to base their ideologies on the two most enduring elements of popular identity: religion and ethnicity. This paper also analyzes the term "global terrorism", and finds that what is called "global terrorism" is no different from earlier terrorism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Porast individualizma, kraj Hladnog rata i povećanje uloge aktera koji nemaju atribut države, prouzrokuje da se međunarodni odnosi transformišu u mnogo kompleksniji sistem. Taj novi sistem kreira mnoštvo zajednica koje se smatraju žrtvama. Takve populacije mogu napustiti razumne debate i vratiti se "ustaljenom beznađu", jedino komunicirajući kroz nasilje. Regionalni sukobi se šire i to se eksploatiše od strane hegemonističkih sila, u skladu sa njihovim nastojanjima da konsoliduju svoje pozicije. Povećanje broja sukoba je vjerovatno rezultat porasta svjetske populacije, klimatskih promjena, nestašice energije i vode. U tom kontekstu, izgleda kao da terorističke grupe baziraju svoje ideologije na dva najistrajnija elementa popularnog identiteta: religija i identitet. Ovaj tekst, također, analizira pojam "globalnog terorizma" i otkriva da se ono što mi nazivamo "globalni terorizam", ne razlikuje od ranije ispoljenih terorizama. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
