TERRORISM - AN ASSYMETRIC THREAT?
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2007, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
When we speak of terrorism, the question is: Is Terrorism really an assymetruic threat? What are the threats, risks, challenges and chances for the 21st Century? To talk about assymetry requires one should first ask: what is the definition of assymetry? If we look it up in the Oxford Dictionary, we find the following explanation: Asymmetry is a “lack of equality or equivalence between parts or aspects of something; a lack of symmetry.” But how does this fit into the concept of terrorism?
