PERSPECTIVES AND CHALLENGES OF TERRORISM IN THE DIGITAL AGE IN THE FACE OF THE PARADIGMATIC SHIFT FROM TRADITIONAL MODES OF TERRORISM.

Terrorism is a flexible phenomenon that adapts according to the realities that emerge and the tools that are available to it. Thus, the development of new technologies has been a transforming factor in the terrorism known before the digital era, not only in its material manifestations but also in the complex emotional implications that motivate its perpetrators. This paper addresses these issues, looking at the phenomenon retrospectively and, from there, analysing current realities and future possibilities. Particularly rigorous consideration will be given to certain technological areas likely to be used in the field of terrorism, given their strong phenomenological and cyber-security interest.
