Conference on the “Policy Implications of Terrorism”
Special Issue of the Journal of Policy Modeling

---

Topic

Over the past few years terrorism has been a major issue for many governments. Terrorist attacks may have huge economic, social, and political implications. As a consequence, governments must put forward effective counter-terrorist policies. Several reasons have suggested that the causes of terrorism are due to underdevelopment, poverty, malgovernance, and other institutional constrains. The objective of the conference is to assemble recent findings on strategies for combating terrorism that may serve as policy recommendations. We look forward to receiving papers on a variety of relevant topics, as well as different approaches, theoretical and empirical, all of them emphasizing policy implications of terrorism.
