  • National and International Security

CONT

Terrorism, unlike guerrilla warfare, does not attack military or government centers with the desire to take power. Rather terrorism targets unsuspecting victims to publicize their cause and create panic among the strong. The terrorist hopes that by randomly attacking "off limit" targets, it will create a fear so intolerable that despite power the victim will surrender to the terrorists’ demands. Thus, terrorism is an indirect strategy to accomplish direct and specific goals.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité nationale et internationale
  • Guerre psychologique
CONT

La stratégie indirecte consiste à [...] ne pas affronter l'ennemi dans une épreuve de force directe, mais à ne l'aborder qu'après l'avoir inquiété, surpris et déséquilibré par une approche imprévue, effectuée par des directions détournées.

Indirect Purchase is the purchase by a third party of institutional training specifically designed to meet the particular needs of an employer, an organization or a specific economic sector. Such training is purchased from either a public institution or, where applicable, an organization other than a Public Authority.
