Economic aspects of terrorism

“Understanding the economic aspects of terrorism can help to prevent or to mitigate terrorism”, writes Michael D. Intriligator in the January 2010 issue of Economic Inquiry.

A professor emeritus of the University of California at Los Angeles and a former president of the Western Economic Association International, Intriligator presents important conclusions:

- The Bush administration made the classic mistake of generals fighting the last war as opposed to the current war by concentrating too much on airports and airplanes and by creating an ineffectual bureaucracy in US Department of Homeland (DHS).

Michael D. Intriligator
- DHS has engaged in an impossible task given the enormous number of potential terrorist targets.

- The Bush administration did too little to deprive Al Qaeda of the means of attack.

- Tightening up airport security will induce terrorists to substitute other targets, such as nuclear power plants,
  high-rise buildings, and critical infrastructure.

Intriligator also points out that the US government should provide more resources for diplomatic efforts. But first of all it should try to understand the economic aspects of terrorism.
