The thesis deals with deterrence of terrorism. The aim
is to assess validity of a proposition that it is possible to
deter nonstate actors and specifically terrorist groups,
however, there are some specifics in comparison to the
deterrence of states. The thesis determines deterrence threats
which can be applied in relation to terrrorist groups and
discusses possible restraints of their application in practice.
It also deals with the question of whether deterrence can be
applied against all types of terrorist groups without
distinction and develops a model of classification of terrorist
groups according to the goals which they pursue.
