The Political Economy of Terrorism: Second Edition presents a
widely accessible political economy approach to the study of
terrorism. It applies economic methodology theoretical and
empirical combined with political analysis and realities to the
study of domestic and transnational terrorism. In so doing, the
book provides both a qualitative and quantitative investigation of
terrorism in a balanced up-to-date presentation that informs
students, policy makers, researchers, and the general reader of the
current state of knowledge. Included are historical aspects, a
discussion of watershed events, the rise of modern-day terrorism,
examination of current trends, the dilemma of liberal democracies,
evaluation of counterterrorism, analysis of hostage incidents, and
much more. The new edition expands coverage of every chapter, adds
a new chapter on terrorist network structures and organization,
accounts for changes in the Department of Homeland Security, and
the USA Patriot Act, and insurance against terrorism.
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 data from International Terrorism: Attributes of Terrorist
Events (ITERATE), the Global Terrorism Database (GTD), and other
public-access data sets.
