About

Terrorism Portal

Conflict, Terrorism & Geopolitical Analysis — independent, open-source research presented with its evidence.

What we do

Terrorism Portal studies political violence, terrorism and the geopolitics of armed conflict. We publish in-depth dossiers on individual conflicts, shorter analysis, sourced maps and data, and maintain a Historical Database of incidents from 1881 to the present.

How we work

Every factual claim and figure is attributed to a source, with a date and a link wherever one exists.
Dossiers and analysis go through editorial review before publication; unreviewed pieces are clearly labelled.
Terrorism is a contested category. We distinguish formal terrorism designations, insurgency and other forms of political violence, and say which definition a dataset uses.
Photographs and video are used only under clear, reusable licences and are always credited.
Errors are corrected openly under our Corrections Policy.

Formats

Each piece of research can be read as a full analysis, a five-minute or a two-minute summary, listened to, printed, or downloaded as an editorial PDF — all generated from the same reviewed text.

Languages

Terrorism Portal is prepared for English and Spanish. Translations are written and reviewed by people, never machine-translated; where a Spanish version is not yet available, the English original is shown with a notice.
