Journal Title: Cywilizacja i Polityka - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 15
Abstract
In the face of increasing domestic and transnational terrorism (involving more than one country, cross-boarder), questions arise about which type of terrorism - internal or external - becomes greater threat to security? How do terrorists adapt to internal (defensive) security measures and external (offensive) means used by states in the war on terror? How does the transformation of terrorism into a motivational dimension, and therefore the values and principles used by terrorists as a justification for the use of violence, especially the departure from secular political ideologies to religious justification, affect the evolution of terrorism as a threat to individuals and their groups? Who or what is the target of attacks by modern terrorist groups? The purpose of this article is to answer the above questions based on the extensive literature and data on terrorism from two databases, The International Terrorism: Attributes of Terrorist Events (ITERATE), and Global Terrorism Database (GTD). Theoretical considerations will be based on the model of the economic rationality of terrorist activity presented by William M. Landes in 1978.
