Providing a Framework of Modern Terrorism Dimensions in the Middle East

Abstract. The Middle East terrorism can be depicted within the framework of international transformations. In this regard, the present study aims to provide a framework for different dimensions of international terrorism especially in the Middle East region. As the second purpose, the present study evaluates the impact of this framework on formation of modern terrorism. Thus, the major research purpose is to seek for the most salient factors leading to creation and development of new terrorism. We should mention that in a systemic viewpoint, there exist various parameters involving in the process of modern international terrorism. Some of these therefore end to expansion of weapons of mass destruction as well as relying on ideology as a solution for getting free from frustration and identity crisis caused by international terrorism, which have been of the most significant factors of emergence of new terrorism. To clarify more, the process of modern terrorism leads to appearance of new non-governmental actors, spread of transitional governments, organized murders, widespread migrations and increase of ethnic heterogeneity in countries. Moreover, technological advances have contributed to development of weapons of mass destruction, which is one major cause of new terrorism. Accusingly, the present study intends to offer an analytical model for systemizing the factors mentioned besides a systemic statement of the way new international terrorism is going to be shaped in the Middle East region.
