Brutality is the defining characteristic of terrorism. It is
despairing to learn that this brutality is the outcome of
purposeful, rational, human behaviour. In this purposefulness,
however, there lies the key to the interpretation, explanation and
understanding of terrorist behaviour. Ultimately, it is in this
purposefulness that we shall also find the key to overcoming
terrorism. Economic analysis highlights this purposefulness, this
rationality, and in doing so provides a different perspective from
which to approach the threat of terrorism and the task of
pre-empting and pursuing its perpetrators. This book develops this
economic perspective within a series of important contexts, each
characterised by particular types of terrorist behaviour, choices
and strategies. The Economics of Terrorism brings new insights on
how to deal with such challenges as the terrorist group's choice of
attack method and target location, terrorist financing and
'copycat' behaviour.
