The "Hydra effect" is a term often used in various fields, but one prominent usage is in the context of political science and international relations, especially regarding the nature of non-state actors and terrorist organizations. It describes a situation where an organization or group, when facing suppression or attempts to eliminate it, does not simply diminish or collapse but instead becomes more resilient and diversifies.
