Abstract

Today's terrorism is transnational in its causes, operations and effects. International terrorism is a
complex international issue that needs to be addressed with a full understanding of nature and scope, but also an
understanding of the need for global cooperation in the fight against terrorism. Its essential features establish its
importance in international relations, as it poses a completely new security threat to states: the risk of attack comes
not only from other states through war, but also from mobile criminal groups, which move between states and
expand worldwide - transnational terrorism. International terrorism absolutely diverts the attention of the world's
major powers and institutions by defocusing them from supporting basic development issues, directing them to
prevent and limit terrorism. It is becoming a source of international relations. The consequence of transnational
transitional terrorism is that states face many intertwined points, related to the decision on when and how to
intervene. Most often in response to terrorism are military operations. However, such actions are not effective
enough to solve the problem of terrorism and even eradicate terrorist behavior. In addition, such actions often end in
many negative effects, causing even more destructive and violent actions by terrorists. Although there is a lot of
research on terrorism, research on the role of conflict resolution approaches in the fight against terrorism is still very
rare. Conflict resolution approaches to ending regional conflicts could be very helpful in reducing the spread of
terrorism. At the same time, mediation and dialogue as part of a more complex strategy to combat terrorism, in order
to prevent future violence and deter individuals from resorting to terrorism, should be consistently supported.
Conflict resolution approaches can provide useful knowledge and strategies that could be effective in broader
intervention against terrorist attacks. According to the cosmopolitan perspective on conflict resolution, which
defines terrorism as a complex, multilayered global and local phenomenon, this paper will analyze several regional
cases to determine which approaches to resolving conflicts are most commonly used in dealing with terrorism, as
well as which are the results of their implementation. The aim is to discover the possibilities and limitations of
conflict resolution approaches as a way to combat terrorism in different contexts.
