| dc.description.abstract | Terrorism continues to pose a signi cant threat to global security, requiring innovative
strategies to e ectively combat this complex phenomenon. Traditional counter-terrorism
approaches often focus on reactive measures, such as intelligence gathering and law
enforcement actions Social Network Analysis (SNA) is the study of relationships and
interactions between individuals or groups. However, there is a growing recognition that
understanding and disrupting the social networks that support terrorist organizations
can be a powerful strategic plan in the ght against terrorism. Social Network Analysis
provides valuable insights into the structure, dynamics, and vulnerabilities within terrorist
networks, enabling targeted interventions to disrupt their operations and enhance
counter- terrorism e orts. This abstract explores the potential of Social Network Analysis
(SNA) as a strategic tool to overcome terrorism. The research questions aim to understand
how SNA can contribute to the understanding of the structure, dynamics, and vulnerabilities
within terrorist networks, as well as identify the challenges and limitations associated
with applying SNA as a strategic plan to counter terrorism. The research objectives involve
investigating the theoretical foundations and relevance of SNA in counter- terrorism
e orts, and proposing recommendations to address the challenges and limitations. The
research methodology utilizes a comprehensive literature review as a qualitative approach
to examine existing knowledge, theories, and empirical studies on SNA and counterterrorism.
The ndings are expected to provide insights into the role of SNA in countering
terrorism, identify challenges, and o er recommendations to enhance its e ectiveness. In
conclusion this research contributes to the development of innovative strategies to disrupt
terrorist networks and enhance global security. | en_US |
