Fighting Terrorism: What Economics Can Tell Us

The Editors

Challenge, 2002, vol. 45, issue 3, 5-18

Abstract: Sophisticated economic analyses, says this long-time student of terrorism, suggest that the best way to prevent terrorism is to reduce the resources of the terrorists—both financial and in terms of personnel. Preventive methods at home require constant vigilance and a recognition that terrorists change their tactics. Retaliation is rarely effective over time.
