Description:

This episode of TerAkt features Prof. Dr. Ivana Damnjanović, who unpacks why defining terrorism remains one of the most complex challenges in contemporary security studies. Drawing on academic research and practical insights, she explains how political interests, historical context, and evolving forms of violence shape competing definitions of terrorism, and why the absence of a universal definition continues to affect policy, prevention, and public understanding. The conversation is part of the project “How to Understand Better,” supported by the SMART Balkan initiative.
