Within the generic study of terrorism as a subset in the field of security studies, this paper provides some insight of small world networks' structure and operation in the framework of the present state of knowledge of network science. It discusses the significance of understanding their nature and performance as an important source of power in international affairs, arguing that traditionally organized, rigidly hierarchical responses to terror security threads are not adequate to counter them in an efficient manner, in the context of a fast growing information age within a complex globalization process.
