The Terrorism Threat in the United States. Contemporary Trends
https://doi.org/10.48137/2074-2975_2026_2_54
Abstract
The author examines the transformations of the terrorist threat in the United States after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001: the transformation of jihadism from a purely «foreign» phenomenon into a home-grown one, the rise of right-wing radical terrorism and its relative decline in recent times amid the increase in left-wing radical activity. The author analyzes the main current trends in the development of the terrorist threat in the United States, including ideological convergence, the decrease in the average age of those involved in terrorist activities, and their online radicalization.
