Terrorism as Psychological Warfare
“Terrorism” is linked to “terror” which is a state of mind, created by a level of fear that so agitates body and mind that those struck by it are not capable of making an objective assessment of ri

Terrorism and Human Rights
The chapter begins with a discussion of the draft definition of terrorism in the UN Ad Hoc Committee on Terrorism, a definition which covers both terrorist blackmail and intimidation of target audiences but does not address the terrorist goal of impressing potential and actual constituencies with their “propaganda by the deed”. It distinguishes then between a military response to terrorism, based on maximum force within the framework of the laws …
Frameworks for Conceptualising Terrorism
Terrorism has been situated—and thereby implicitly also defined—in various contexts such as crime, politics, war, propaganda and religion. Depending on which framework one chooses, certain aspects of terrorism get exposed while others are placed ‘outside the picture’ if only one framework is utilised. In this article five conceptual lenses are utilised: 1. terrorism as/and crime; 2. terrorism as/and politics; 3. terrorism as/and warfare; 4. terro…

Western responses to terrorism
This concluding essay surveys the kinds of responses that have been developed by Western nations over the past 25 years, both domestically and internationally, and also considers the kinds of responses that have not been adequately developed. Special attention is devoted to the military dimension, which has received considerable notice in recent years, and the propaganda dimension, never adequately addressed in the literature. The study also exam…
The response problem as a definition problem
To escape the defeatist position that ‘one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter’, this essay distinguishes four arenas of discourse on terrorism: an academic one (where a consensus definition is offered); a state discourse (where definitions are generally wide and vague); a public one (as reflected in the media's usage of the term ‘terrorism'); and, finally, that of the ‘terrorists’ and their sympathisers (where the focus is on politi…
Countering terrorism in the Netherlands
This essay contends that there is something called the ‘Dutch approach’ to anti‐terrorism. The great degree of tolerance in Dutch society has absorbed many protests and, with few exceptions, prevented them from evolving beyond material destruction. Most protest groups were co‐opted even before they reached this stage. The authorities have combined pragmatism with strict adherence to the rule of law. Downright repression has been exceptional and n…
Terrorism and democracy
When there is a confrontation between the absolute politics of terrorism and the compromising politics of democracies, the former seems to be in a position of advantage. This essay discusses the strengths of democracies (non‐violent change through elections, open criticism in and by the media, courts that protect the weak against the strong) as well as their weaknesses (freedom of movement and association, abundance of accessible targets and a le…
