Abstract. Based on the analysis of current trends and indicators of the effectiveness of interstate cooperation in combating the threat of terrorism, the authors have carried out a comprehensive study of the strengths and weaknesses of existing strategies for financing counter-terrorist activities at the interstate level and researched their perspectives in the context of the development of terrorist threats in the modern globalised world.

Terrorism by its nature has a latent character; it is dynamically changing in relation to the choice of objects and ways of using violence. That is why the process of confronting terrorist threats should include a set of long-term political, economic, diplomatic, legal and social initiatives concern any country. By combining the efforts of various social institutions in the direction of raising the level of welfare of the nation, educational and training work with vulnerable strata of the population (young people, former prisoners, participants in hostilities, etc.), and support of moral principles in society, humanity will be able to avoid terrorism threatening its existence.
