> New media technologies have impact on every aspect of our lives, including security, privacy, terrorism and activism. While new concerns about privacy, new forms of activism such as cyber activism and new perceptions of terrorism such as cyber terrorism emerge; conventional forms of activism, security and terrorism also have reflections via and over new media.

> Emergence of new concepts and evolutions in existing concepts resulted in the necessity and emergence of discussions about the terminology of new media politics, activism, terrorism and security. From cyber-activism to cyber-terrorism, different sorts of perceptions are easily observed. There seems to be a growing acceptance that along with the new media technologies, the difference between terrorism, cyber-terrorism and activism has become blurred. While one act is regarded as terrorism for one, the same act may be considered as activism for opposing groups. From ethical to political standpoint the debate on new media’s political and technical impact on the future of terrorism, conflict and security goes on in various academic studies and other fields.

> Being aware of the necessity of opening such debates, this conference aims to explore terrorism, activism and new media politics with the effects of the new media on the various forms of cyber-political issues within a multidisciplinary framework drawing insights from a number of research fields including international relations, peace and conflict studies, new media and communication studies as the purveyor of terrorism and new media discourses.

> We hope that this conference will ignite much needed fresh thinking on the connection between terrorism, conflict and society in relation to new media among various disciplines.
