Which of the following is a common motivation shared by both Zealots and Assassins?
using religious motivations |
using ethnic motivations |
acting with a sectarian extremism |
using people’s vulnerabilities |
capable of influencing |
The Zealots had both religious and ethnic motivations whereas the Assassins primarily acted with a sectarian extremism. However, some of the mentioned methods used by both are the same. Their focus on symbolic assassinations and using people’s vulnerabilities and/or utilising vulnerable people are still two quite common tactics used by many terror groups. The Assassin’s transboundary character is also a predecessor for contemporary transnational terrorist networks. The Assassins were thus, quite organized, able to control strategic strongholds, capable of influencing, manipulating and assassinating key figures, successful in defying several sieges by quite powerful states of their time, and proved to have a quite a sustainable modus operandi considering their several centuries of presence which is quite uncommon for terror groups. Thus, they are widely regarded as early experts of terror and guerrilla tactics and a key predecessor of contemporary terror groups (Daftary, 2016; Gray, 2010; McCarthy, 1973; Lockhart, 1930).

The new international order after the Cold War is, often, described as ________because there is not as clear-cut division in international political system as it was during the previous era.
disorder |
peace |
order |
stability |
calm |
The new international order after the Cold War is, often, described as disorder because there is not as clear-cut division in international political system as it was during the previous era. For academics in international politics, this has created numerous new empirical data and new interpretations to the old, but still existing, arguments regarding the analyses of security in international politics. Neither have states in their behaviors limited themselves with the sharp division of old international security thinking. These do not, however, suggest that intellectuals and statesmen have all given up old way of security thinking and practices. They exist and are very much alive today in international politics. The end of the Cold War with the increasing globalisation has brought about changes and processes in international relations, all of which together have given additional new meanings to, and produced implications for, security in international politics.
