The Society for Terrorism Research (STR) welcomes to the 6th Annual International Conference on Terrorism and Aggression: Towards Increased Freedom and Security. This interdisciplinary event brings together scholars with different backgrounds, unified by the idea that terrorism and violence are not only great challenges to national, regional and global security, but can also lead to the restriction of freedom and individual security.
The conference is scheduled to take place on 8–11 September 2012 in Burgas, one of the most beautiful cities of Bulgaria, situated on the Southern Black Sea side of the country. In 2010 it was awarded the National media prize “Bulgaria’s best city”. With its rich cultural traditions and its spirit of cosmopolitism, the city provides an excellent setting for the conference and we hope all participants will enjoy very much their stay in Burgas and the surrounding area.
Proposals presenting theoretical, empirical and applied content are welcome from all behavioral science perspectives to emphasize the importance of integrating theoretical frameworks and findings from multiple disciplines. Proposal content can cover related topics including, but not limited to:
- New security challenges
- Arab revolutions
- Psychological and social impact of aggression and violence resulting from diversity, social economics, war, media exposure, and /or terrorism
- Practical approaches to prevention and/or intervention of aggression, violence and/or terrorism
- Dynamics of terrorism on national, regional and international levels
- Implications of racial and ethnic diversity on aggressive, violent and/or terrorist behavior
- Transfer of empirical research on aggression, violence, or terrorism to practical prevention and intervention practices at local to global levels
- Suicide terrorism
- Gender, sex and violence
- Alternative dispute resolution
- Conflicts in the post-communist world
