Lässt sich Terrorismus tatsächlich dadurch definieren, dass er falsch, verwerflich und ein Verbrechen ist? Nein, denn dann bleibt ungeklärt, was Terrorismus von einer verwerflichen Tat, von einem Verbrechen und von Mord unterscheidet.
Das ist der gedankliche Ausgangspunkt dieses Buchs, das gut verständlich erläutert, was Terrorismus ist, seine Geschichte skizziert, die Erkenntnisse der Forschung zu
seinen Ursachen und Möglichkeiten seiner Bekämpfung vorstellt.
The narrative of an aggressive and neo-imperialist Russia that has dominated analyses of the 2014 Ukrainian crisis lacks theoretical rigour. We argue that a sustainable transformation of the Ukrainian crisis requires an accurate analysis of the context of the conflict, which should include an understanding of Moscow’s perception of the threats to its interests. This policy brief develops a theoretical understanding of the Ukrainian crisis through the lens of Stephen M. Walt’s balance of threat theory. We conclude that a realist analysis will help to explain Russian actions.
