Terrorism in Tunisia and Regional Responses

In light of major global changes, particularly after the Cold War, fundamental aspects of terrorism and security have emerged across all levels. Security threats and their nature have shifted, along with challenges to the international system. This transformation has also seen a decrease in military influence, giving way to economic dominance. Various security risks have surfaced, characterized by their non-military, border-transcending, and ambiguous features. Terrorism, a grave and widespread phenomenon poses a significant global threat, endangering humanity and safety. Its impact extends beyond borders, utilizing modern scientific methods proficiently to achieve goals, resulting in a diverse and multifaceted terrorist landscape. Terrorism is far from ordinary; it profoundly shapes both international and domestic realms. Its historical roots date back centuries, but its contemporary essence lies in the increase and expansion of incidents. The emergence and evolution of this terrorist phenomenon in Maghreb countries differ due to unique political, social, and economic conditions. Thus, its forms and factors vary, as these Arab Maghreb nations collectively recognize the seriousness of this threat, spanning political, economic, and social dimensions. The common traits among these countries underscore the dangers of terrorism, with significant repercussions impacting multiple aspects of life, including the landscape within Tunisia.
