Abstract
In this work, the NATO vision, US DHS, and CIA positions on terrorism and CBRNe events are analyzed and compared, taking into account even the United Nations and EU definitions. Furthermore, to focalize the Italian viewpoint, an analysis of the Italian Penal Code regarding Terrorism is presented. The aim of this analysis is to identify the main elements defining the contemporary concept of terrorism. Furthermore, the concept of subversion is discussed, and initial analysis of two important databases on terroristic events (RAND and GTD) is carried out. In the second part of the work, two evolution theories on terrorism are illustrated, introducing the WMD and CBRNe most important definitions and international use together with an analysis of the action taken in Italy in case of CBRNe emergencies and CBRNe crisis. The purpose of this work is to indicate, at international and national levels, the main concepts and actions to be taken during terroristic and CBRNe events.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
