Description

ABSTRACT In this article, the concept of new or seemingly new perceptions regarding terrorism is analysed, with specific reference to the United Nations, the United States and recent South African anti-terror legislation. Whereas much of the recent literature has focused on the 'new' characteristics of terrorism itself, the aim here is to also investigate changed perceptions of the phenomenon. In some views, the so-called 'new terrorism' is in fact not new, but certain interpretations and perceptions regarding terrorism have in fact undergone significant changes, including the definition of terrorism itself.
