This paper deals with the question how today's globalized forms of terrorism can be understood in their organizational dimension. Starting from the estimation that existing concepts (e.g., hierarchy, network, or social movement) are limited in comprehending these new forms of terrorist organizing, we propose an alternative perspective on organizations as being more adequate: the communication-as-constitutive of organizations perspective (CCO; Ashcraft, Kuhn & Cooren, 2009; Putnam & Nicotera, 2009). Based on the CCO perspective, terrorist organizations can be conceptualized as essentially consisting of communicative events which necessitate to become interconnected over time. Keeping in mind this rather ephemeral notion of organizations, CCO points our attention to the constitutive conditions which allow for the emergence and stabilization of terrorist organizing. We finally derive suggestions on how to destabilize the continuous reproduction of terrorist organizing practices.
