Within a few years, terrorism, which was relatively marginal, came to occupy an important place in international relations. Taking up much of the activity in international cooperative organizations, such as the United Nations and the G8, it is now at the center of discussions on international relations. One might even say that it has become an obsessive and real source of planetary control. Having become a true obsession for the power of the planet and countless other states, it occupies first place in the activities of the United Nations, the G8 and numerous international organizations. Now it is at the heart of international relations. Classical works such as Thucydides, Hobbes and Machiavelli form the essential basis of neorealism. Hans Morgenthau (1967) and Raymond Aron (1962) were instrumental in implementing the realism approach and left their mark on the foundations of the discipline of international relations. Classical realist theories focused their analysis on the state, mainly on those who were considered powerful. According to these realists, the state is the main actor in international relations to the extent that it evolves into an anarchic international system. The aforementioned anarchic system implies a constant pattern of competition to ensure their safety and protect their interests. The impulse of the State, or rather of its nature, which is to all intents and purposes selfish, pursues its most nationalistic interest. As such, the nation's interest derives from the pursuit of power. While this currently dominates the field of political science, particularly that of international relations, the pursuit of power remains, in this regard, limited in its understanding of terrorism. Since the main actor of International Relations is the... center of the paper... most other social constructs, standards and values produce and feed its modern conception. Furthermore, constructivism questions how terrorist interests and national security are linked to the extent that they have become both a social problem and a growing danger to the state's citizens. Although they sometimes remain underutilized, social facts are, in reality, constructions based on the interests of some dominant groups (Edelman, 1988). In this perspective, the association of terrorist interests as threats could manifest itself as a method by which authorities increase their social control by applying a series of security measures to prevent the expansion of terrorism. Terrorist targets, which have an explicit purpose, are then used as a means to expand pre-existing state control through the state's stated intentions to safeguard the well-being of its citizens..
