Conceptualisation of Terrorism in Modelling Tools: Critical Reflexive Approach
Lucy Resnyansky.
Original Articles
This paper outlines a critical reflexive approach to an assessment of modelling/simulation tools. The concepts of terrorism and terrorism threat in modelling literature are analysed and compared with the contesting definitions of terrorism in political science and counter‐terrorism discourse. Possible social implications of using particular concepts of terrorism and terrorism threat are identified. This study discusses how modellers provide better support to counter‐terrorism analysis and decision making, by taking the above‐mentioned approach.
