Vol. 10 (2025), pp. 7-20.In the proposed article, we will discuss the issue of political violence, taking into account that this form of action is a global and long-term phenomenon that occurs in all periods and on all continents. This violence is characterized by acts motivated by political or ideological goals that harm individuals, groups or entire social systems. Political violence can take many forms, from assassinations and terrorist attacks to mass state repression, civil wars or vio- lent demonstrations. Its effects extend beyond state borders and can affect international politics and regional stability.enCC BY Creative Commons Attribution 4.0.
