Terrorism is the attempt to achieve political goals with
the use or the threat of violence. The ideologies behind
terrorism vary widely, but can be roughly divided into a
number of identifiable main drivers. Examples include
religiously-inspired terrorism and strong ethnonationalist
sentiments leading to separatist terrorism.
The identified drivers are not static, however, and
can evolve or vanish over time in response to political
or socio-economic developments, merge with other
ideologies or convictions, or be the building blocks of
new and sometimes very specific and highly individual
motivations. Unclear or vague motives can blur the distinction
between a terrorist offence and other criminal
acts. The bomb attack and killing spree in Norway in
July 2011, referred to in this report, illustrates that a
personal mix of elements from different ideologies can
lead to extremely serious incidents that are difficult to
foresee and prevent.
