Abstract

Since the end of the Cold War period, there has been an intense debate in the international community and in the academic community about the development of terrorism by weak state factors. In particular, the emergence of the Al Qaeda terrorist organization as the head of the September 11 attacks and the connection between religious radicalism and terrorism has been articulated. Limited state capacity leads to inadequacies in combating violent extremism and terrorism. The inability of the state to control its borders makes the region extremely sensitive to transnational operations such as smuggling, kidnapping and human trafficking that finance terrorist organizations. The process of radicalization, which expresses the stage before terrorism, results from poor governance. Individuals and groups who are dragged into despair reflect their anger and reaction within the framework of their belief systems while they are rebelling against the state or system that exposes them to all kinds of injustice, corruption and human rights violations. The next dimension of radicalization can be terrorism. With this study, we will examine the process of terrorism and the terrorism of the radical groups in the weak state conditions and the failure of Libya, which is continuing to a civil war environment with the Arab Spring.
