Terrorism as a Political Violence: The Formula

What is it about?

Terrorism is as widespread as ambiguous word by which, in general, a lot of things can be meant. Very often the framework of reasonable using this word is unclear. I think it is not just a word but a term, furthemore a very concrete term describing the phenomenon which can be classified by sets of criteria. The scientific (in its pure sense) discussion seems reasonable to me when it is just around such sets. I tried to explain terrorism as a political violence and presented it as a very simple and, I hope, clear formula for demonstrating my logic though it can be filled by, e.g., qualitative expert reviews. I don't think that my approach is an ultimate truth. I'd wish the readers to take my article just as an attempt to explain terrorism by formulating the set of criteria which seem reasonable to me based on some theories of social and political thought (Simmel, Boulding, Turk and others). I wish you enjoy reading!
