Tools against Terrorists

Chapter Chapter 10 in Economic Instruments of Security Policy, 2011, pp 181-190 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract September 11, 2001 demonstrated that a terrorist does not need to lead a country to have in place the institutions and resources that allow him to inflict his will on a state. Individual people make decisions, whether they are leaders of states or leaders of insurgent, drug-trafficking, or terrorist organizations. When Osama bin Laden managed to kill thousands of people inside the United States, he became every bit as relevant to national security as any state leader. In a world characterized by states—or state warfare—states matter more; when violence occurs within or across borders by substate actors, we must engage in economic analysis of the individual.
