THE TRANSFORMATION OF TERRORISM ANTHROPOLOGY IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION AND THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The thesis analyzes globalization not as the direct cause of terrorism, but as a factor that alters its functioning environment, communication, and identity mechanisms. The mediation nature of the digital space in radicalization is revealed. It also analyzes the spread of radical ideas through transnational information flows and virtual networks, the formation of a sense of belonging, and the expansion of social influence. In this process, special attention is paid to the role of digital communication technologies in strengthening the symbolic- communicative impact of terrorism.
