Resentment and Terrorism: Roots and Fruits
Keywords:
terrorism, resentment, social relationships, policyAbstract
This paper is presenting concepts of resentment defined within the wide scope of feelings such as bitterness, disliking, jealousy, envy, etc., in the context of ongoing international and national efforts to conceive an adequate response to terrorist attacks and fear from terrorism. Although there is a lack of agreement between scholars and policy-makers marking the contemporary discourse in relation to determination whether resentment is the cause or it is the consequence of terrorism, resentment is typically referred to as the key concept to understand terrorism. By outlining several different approaches to resentment concept frameworks, author is trying to point out that in research oriented towards phenomenon of terrorism and designing of efficient and sustainable anti-terrorist policy, multidisciplinary approach is needed.
