In the 21st century, terrorism acquired new features; the number of parties
involved in terrorist activities has grown. It has become more complicated to analyse the phenomenon itself and the synthesis of factors necessary for its study. As
a result, such new types of terrorism as informational, economic, and technological
have appeared. At present, the contours of diplomatic terrorism are becoming more
distinct. The object of the study is the main types of terrorism, the origin of which
has connections with the progress of mass communication. The subject of the study
is the transformation of terrorism in the direction of revealing new implicit types of
terrorism. The purpose of the study is to highlight diplomatic terrorism as a result
of terrorism transformation in the 21st century. The author has identified the following tasks: to introduce information agendas that form a negative image of Russia and China in the context of terrorist issues; to present specific examples of terrorist
attacks against Russia and China; to identify the features of diplomatic terrorism as a
tool in the foreign policy struggle against unwelcome countries. The research methodology is based on general scientific and applied research methods, including analysis,
synthesis, deduction and induction. The author analyses the facts of accusing Russia
and China of complicity in terrorism by the United States, India and other countries,
notes the tendency for a number of states, in particular the United States and its allies, to use terrorist methods in order to realize their own interests, pays attention to
relevant examples of terrorist acts using methods of the technological and economic
impact. The author has distinguished diplomacy used by government officials as a
tool of pressure on other states and international organisations. As a result, it is proposed to consider diplomatic terrorism as a separate type of terrorist activity, and the
research has determined the characteristic features of this type of terrorism. |
