Annotation

This study analyzes the problem of transnational terrorism from the standpoint of an integrated approach not only through the prism of global socio-economic processes, but also in the context of geopolitical confrontation between different actors, trying to strengthen their positions in the Middle East.The article reveals the concept of В«transnational terrorismВ», analyzes the preconditions for the emergence of terrorist organizations in the Middle East, considers the social base of transnational terrorist organizations on the example of such influential actors of modern terrorism as ISIS, Al-Qaeda,В«Muslim BrotherhoodВ». A special place in the article is occupied by the assessment of methods of combating transnational terrorism by the world community. In this regard, a number of declarations and security agreements adopted at the time by major international organizations were analyzed, which allows us to speak about the importance of this issue not only at the regional but also at the global level. Given the complexity of the ongoing processes in the Middle East, the author concludes that even the hypothetical elimination of all radical organizations will not provide a stable situation in the region. Only by eradicating its fundamental preconditions and reasons mentioned in the article, we can expect positive results.
