The concept of terrorism since 9/11 terror attack on the US continues to attract both national and international attention as both national and international level governance seek to nip the heinous and nefarious activities of terrorist in the bud. There is problem regarding the definition of terrorism as different scholars and institutions define the term from different point of view. The aim of the research is to examine some potential causes and impact of international terrorism. Drawing from related literature such as peer reviewed articles; the researcher discovered the following among other things as the potential causes of international terrorism: economic deprivation, socio-economic and demographic dynamics, globalization, political transformation and instability, clash of civilization and identity, pattern of global politics and economy.
