“…Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of this complex phenomenon would require a broad multi-causal approach. In particular, many scholars of terrorism distinguish three levels of analysis: the micro-level concerning individuals, the meso-level concerning groups, networks or organisations and the macro-level concerning the social environment (among others, Crenshaw, 1981). Developments at one level of analysis may impact other levels.…”

Поред ових, узроци тероризма су често и неостварене амбиције одређених друштвених група, које се огледају у жељи за влашћу (неостварене политичке амбиције), затим вјерска заслијепљеност, жеља за осветом, авантуризам итд.…”

“…It distinguishes between "preconditions, factors that set the stage for terrorism over the long run, and precipitants, specific events that immediately precede the occurrence of terrorism." 12 Crenshaw further distinguishes between preconditions that "provide opportunities for terrorism to happen," and those that "directly inspire and motivate terrorist campaigns." 13 This is a crucial distinction, as an opportunity alone is unlikely to lead to terrorism unless it is matched by a motive for such violence.…”
