TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Terrorism: The Problem of Definition Revisited JO - American behavioral scientist A1 - Cooper, H. H.A. SP - 881 EP - 893 VL - 44 IS - 6 N2 - How can terrorism be defined when the process of defining is wholly frustrated by the presence of irreconcilable antagonisms? It is certainly not easy to define, much less comprehend. With respect to terrorism, there is among the many participants to the discussion no agreement on the basic nature of the fruit under consideration. In any case, the definition of terrorism has undergone a number of small refinements as experience has suggested. This article considers how to define terrorism or at least know it when it is seen in the coming decades.
