Introduction

In the context of international security, there is an almost unanimous consensus related to the importance of using intelligence as a key factor to combat the global terrorist threat, because it allows us to prevent and anticipate terrorists before they materialize. During the development of this course you will study and learn the definitions and the conceptual theoretical framework of terrorism, its global facet, the process of terrorist radicalization and deradicalization, as well as the use of intelligence against international terrorism.

There are several essential features of what is currently called "global terrorism" that allow groups of different origins and, often, without operational connection, to be included within this same category.
