Abstract

V originále

The question of the extent to which the currently prevailing concepts and definitions of terrorist violence and its different types should be urgently reviewed in the light of the terrorist attacks on the U.S.A. on 11 September 2001 has become highly topical. Major attention should be paid to particular traits of religious terrorism and, in this context, to differences between selective and non-selective terrorist violence. These differences are huge and should be adequately reflected in counter-terrorist thinking and policy. Therefore, it might be extremely counterproductive to enforce "non-differentiated" war against terrorism. As a matter of fact, there is a relatively large number of terrorisms (both actual and potential).This generates the need of a well-thought and sophisticated typology of terrorist violence.

In Czech
