unmistakable, language


Explanation:
'unverkennbar' can be found in the Collins German-English dictionary.

Begrifflichkeiten might refer to either 'terms' or 'concepts' - either the language of the debate or the underlying ideas.

Idiomatically you often hear the phrase 'using the language of (e.g. crisis prevention)'

disagree  Martin Schmurr: "it is unmistakable that…" doesn't sound fine to me

  -> I wouldn't use it quite like that but e.g. 'There is unmistakable use of...' sounds fine, and less 'loaded' than 'undeniable'

Explanation:
Governmental non-governmental players unmistakably use prevention concepts for tactical reasons.

It cannot be denied


Explanation:
It cannot be denied that both government and non-government players are making use of concepts related to the prevention debates to serve their own tactical purposes.
In my opinion, to start a sentence with "It is unmistakable that" is not the greatest style; "it can't be denied" is too casual in the context.
