Hvad er terror? Spørgsmålet har været overraskende vanskeligt at give et definitivt svar på. Vi går til problemet ved at bruge William Connollys teori om essentielt omtvistede begreber. Her er tre karakteristika væsentlige: begrebers normativitet, kompleksitet og anvendelse. Vores formål er ikke at præsentere en endelig definition af terrorbegrebet, men derimod at give en ny ramme for studiet af kampen om begrebets mening. Samtidig positionerer vi os i modsætning til såvel realistiske som konventionalistiske tilgange til at definere begrebet som til andre og mere brugte tilgange til studiet af kampen om dets mening. Vi påpeger således forskellene på vores tilgang og dem, der eksempelvis bruges inden for analyser af hegemoni og diskursive formationer og inden for begrebshistorie. Vi argumenterer for, at Connollys tilgang kan udgøre en produktiv ramme for undersøgelse af begrebets kontestering, fordi den belyser, hvad det overhovedet vil sige, at et begreb er essentielt omtvistet, og fordi den tillader os bedre at se forskellige niveauer af enighed og uenighed.
