Abstract
Over the past 50 years, the Middle East has been a hub of tension and insecurity. Traditionally, threats to global peace and security ensued from wars and crises among regional states which thereby engaged the international system. Presently, threats to global security are con- sidered in the context of global terrorism. September 11, 2001 has introduced a new approach to dealing with terrorism. In this approach, the West is determined to eradicate the root causes of new terrorism outside of its boundaries. Since global terrorism stems from the Middle East, exploring the correlation between regional issues and new terrorism is of great importance. As a whole, the roots of new terrorism have undoubtedly been associated with problems of the Middle East. If new terrorism was conceived in the region, one needs to consider the unique political, economic, cultural and religious characteristics which frame it on the one hand and the approach of the global system to dealing with these issues on the other.
