For the past few decades, the world has been grappling with severe threats posed by diverse terrorist groups, and the consequences of these incidents are escalating rapidly. This edited collection aims to delve into and examine the profound impact of terrorism and terrorist activities on economic and political systems. It explores the decline in GDP levels, the surge in unnecessary military expenditure at the expense of social and economic progress, the disincentives to foreign investors, the loss of diplomatic powers on a global scale, the emergence of social unrest, and the exacerbation of youth unemployment, poverty, political violence, and other pressing issues. While the book encompasses the effects of terrorism on a global scale, it specifically focuses on the economies in the Afro-Asian regions. This distinctive coverage of studies in quantitative economics and political systems presents an invaluable opportunity for postgraduate students, researchers, and academics in the fields of political economics, international relations, and defense studies, among others, to broaden their understanding of the devastating consequences of terrorism.
