The Quest of Rebellion/Revolution for Democratization in the Arab World: The collapse of the old authoritarian regimes and the devolution of power to the masses has enabled fundamentalist movements and hybrid terrorist organizations to exploit the opening of a “window of political competition”, in general, and democratic Terrorism’s elections, in particular, to gain power and legitimacy. G l o b a l I m p a c t 5 Instability and the Crisis of Statehood: The Islamist revolutions in the countries of the Arab Spring have led to a crisis of legitimacy in states in the Middle East; the erosion or disappearance of effective control of territory, borders, and certain populations as an outgrowth of regime instability; the loss of a monopoly on centralized, organized state powers; and the appearance of “non-state actors”. The Information Revolution and Its Impact on Terrorism: Cyber-space, the Internet, and social networks are being used to initiate and foment revolutions and promote political processes, and to conduct terrorist attacks (cyber-terrorism). 6 P r o g r a m World Summit on Counter-Terrorism World Summit on Counter-Terrorism 2012 Terrorism’s Global Impact September 10-13, 2012 ICT’s 12th International Conference Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya, Israel Schedule* Monday, September 10, 10:00-14:30 at the Center for Performing Arts, Herzliya Special Sessions: Talking Heads 10:00 - 11:30 Opening Remarks: Dr. Boaz Ganor, Ronald S.
