This Element delves into the intricate realms of terrorism, counterterrorism, and the United States government's war on terror in the aftermath of the devastating September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Drawing upon insights from both Austrian and public choice economics, it aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of these critical issues.
The foundations of the economics of terrorism are explored, emphasizing that the behaviors of terrorists and counter-terrorists are purposeful and driven by specific goals. The economics of counterterrorism policies are examined, highlighting the importance of institutional change in combating the threat of terrorism.
The Element then focuses on the three dilemmas confronting liberal societies in their counterterrorism efforts. These dilemmas include balancing security and civil liberties, addressing the root causes of terrorism, and ensuring that counterterrorism policies do not inadvertently exacerbate the problem.
An assessment of the US government's war on terror follows, examining its origins, evaluating its success or failure, and considering the profound effects both abroad and within the United States. The final chapter concludes with a discussion of several areas for future research, aimed at advancing our understanding of these complex phenomena.
