Reconstructing the normative definitions of terrorism (original) (raw)

The threat of international terrorism is a real one. The word terrorism itself is capable of unleashing a sense of immense fear. The existential crisis that it is capable of generating can draw attention away from all the other issues facing mankind. It creates a sense of urgency and immediate danger to the survival of individuals. All the other issues regarding economy, development, climate change, become irrelevant when the actual fear for survival strikes. This fear has escalated at an alarming rate in the recent times.
