Western Societies and the fight against terrorism and hate crimes
Journal Title: International Relations and Security Studies Review - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
In our days, the international community is confronted with a terrible challenge, terrorism, which had and continues to have important consequences on Western societies. The importance of government action in the countries involved in the fight against terrorism grows every day, from it, depending the evolution of societies, national and international institutions, the economy, businesses, to the daily lives of people. Lately, terrorism has evolved from an irrational act to a rational sabotage and hate crimes, an alternative form of conflict. We can say that terrorism tends to become an international concept, its meanings turning it into a global risk for all the societies in the world. Our research seeks to show how government policies change after terrorist attacks, such as the use of “legal, economic, political and social instruments” in institutionalizing the fight against terrorism, public perception of the authorities involved in anti-terrorist fight, which institutions are most trusted and how civil society perceives its security.
