ABSTRACT
In the ever increasingly global world, threats to a state’s existence are not limited to the economic, social or military spheres. In fact, the end of the twentieth century and the dawn of the twenty-first century present a substantial increase in terrorism, a global phenomenon aimed directly at the economic integrity of the state, the foundations of society and the legitimacy of the state. This threat is neither singular nor one-dimensional. Indeed, terrorism threatens the nexus of all dimensions of the modern nation-state.
