Inspire, Terrorism & Crisis Management: are we analysing natural calamities or terrorism?

In the last issue of Inspire (Spring 2016), an interesting article by Muhammad As-Sana’ani was released, comparing natural calamities and terrorism. The article raises crucial points, giving a new perspective on counterterrorism, showing for the first time an interest in the possible relationship between the crisis management approach and its strategies and terrorism acts. This also means a change in the way through which it is possible to understand IS terrorism tactics, providing different strategies of counterterrorism: from a military defence to civil protection paradigm.
