Waves of Terrorism: Evolution, Causes & Global Response | Dawn Opinion | CSS PMS

Описание: Terrorism has evolved dramatically over the past century, shaped by political shifts, technology, and global dynamics. This Dawn Opinion analysis explores four distinct waves of terrorism:

Anarchist Wave (1880–1920s) – Political assassinations and nationalist movements
Anti-Colonial Wave (1920–1960) – Struggle for independence against colonial powers
New Left Wave (1960s–1980s) – Kidnappings, hijackings, and international political assassinations
Religiously Inspired Wave (1979 onwards) – Radicalisation, online propaganda, and ideological extremism

Key insights include:
Historical patterns of terrorism and how technology influenced tactics
Role of diaspora communities and international networks in sustaining movements
The shift from politically motivated terrorism to religiously driven extremism
The importance of international cooperation, legal frameworks, and extradition treaties in combating terrorism
Lessons from repeated efforts by major powers, including the US, to eliminate global terrorism

CSS & PMS aspirants will benefit from understanding the evolution of terrorism, its global impact, and the strategies required for counterterrorism, as this topic is frequently relevant in current affairs, international relations, and security studies.
