Terror War: Complicity and Responsibility
.
Kumankov A.
We tend to define terrorism as an action or practice that leads us to the moral assessment of terrorism. However, moral interpretation of terrorism appears to be incomplete because terrorism exceeds the moral boundaries and reveals itself primarily as a political issue. Terrorism as a phenomenon of political life should be understood in terms of political philosophy. In this context, the question of participants and accomplices of terrorism becomes fundamentally important. The article focuses on this problem, solving which we would be able to construct a more complete notion of terrorism and answer the question of responsibility, which arises in connection with terrorism.

The Sahel Belt’s contradictions have brought about a multidimensional and lasting security crisis. The conflicts were triggered partly by climate change’s disruption of seasonal pastoral migration in the western Sahel, and partly by the disruption of nomads’ natural symbiosis with sedentary farmers in the south. This has led to the politicization of ethnic and religious ...

Затяжные войны Султаната мамлюков с Дулкадиром и Ак Коюнлу во второй половине XV в. стали своеобразной прелюдией к первой османо-мамлюкской войне. Эмиры и беи анатолийских княжеств, хотя бы формально признававшие вассалитет по отношению к египетскому султану, получили веские основания для того, чтобы усомниться в непобедимости мамлюкской армии, а главное – в могуществе своего сюзерена, от которого зависел ...

Важнейшая черта наших дней: предвоенное время сменилось военным. Всю вторую половину ХХ века и начало XXI именовали «послевоенным периодом». Это выражение имело двойной смысл. С одной стороны, речь шла о периоде после окончания Второй мировой; с другой – о надежде, переходившей в уверенность, что эта война была последним крупным столкновением мировых держав в истории человечества. ...

This involvement encompasses a broad spectrum, incorporating innovative private sector instruments—now acknowledged as ODA-eligible by the OECD—as well as traditional tools of external official support to developing countries, which remain the primary ...

The paper reviews the securitisation initiatives in Africa's Sahel. It specifically explores Buzan and Waever's ‘securitisation' framework to re-evaluate securitising discourse and the contemporary initiatives of the ...
