Abstract

Terrorism, as an enigma of instinct of extremism, of persons driven by ideology or of eager for wealth in an incomprehensibly cruel way, undoubtedly today is a global problem. Society does not have an adequate response to this phenomenon, that is, on a cruel and uncompromising war terror.

The terrorist propaganda has created an atmosphere in which the individual does not feel free and safe. The fear of terrorism has entered into all the parts of society, and the development of technology also marked a new era of terrorism.

Thus, starting from the fact that the main factor of terrorism is a surprise, practically in modern time terrorism and fear of it became part of the everyday life. Because of terrorism, danger grows, like a ghost from a bottle, and becomes far greater than its actual physical condition. Images of terrorism, in publicly accessible articles, newspaper caricatures, a variety of published books on the subject usually portray giant weapons against skidding targets.

This paper aims to consider the challenges, but in the context of the effects and consequences associated with the sensibility of the role of the hard power (in general), and hence its use in terms of challenges in the contemporary fight against terrorism with a brief overview of the place, role and mode of operation of the Serbian Armed Forces as part of the security apparatus.

Key words: security, hard power, force, terrorism, armed forces, fear, terror, danger, Serbian Army
