Collective action and transnational terrorism
Article Abstract:
The transnational terrorism and some of the collective action issues that it poses in the aftermath of 9/11 attacks, are investigated from alternative view points that include the terrorist group's leaders, suicide bombers, and the targeted government. Other failures on the part of the governments that involve intelligence and duplication of efforts are analyzed. Issues concerning the costs of terrorism, and what works and what does not against terrorism, are addressed.
