The political economy of terrorism / Walter Enders, Todd Sandler. - xiii, 278 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 259-268) and index.
Terrorism : an introduction -- The dilemma of liberal democracies -- Statistical studies and terrorist behavior -- Counterterrorism -- Transference -- International cooperation : dilemma and inhibitors -- Hostage taking -- After 9/11 -- Economic impact of transnational terrorism -- Homeland security -- The future of terrorism.
"The Political Economy of Terrorism presents a widely accessible approach to the study of terrorism that combines economic methods with political analysis and realities. It applies economic methodology - theoretical and empirical - with political analysis to the study of domestic and transnational terrorism. Included in the treatment are historical aspects of the phenomenon, a discussion of watershed events, the rise of modern-day terrorism, examination of current trends, the dilemma of liberal democracies, evaluation of counterterrorism, and analysis of hostage incidents. Rational-actor models of terrorist and government behavior and game-theoretic analysis are presented for readers with no prior theoretical training. Where relevant, the authors display graphs using the data set International Terrorism: Attributes of Terrorist Events (ITERATE), and other data sets."--Publisher description.
