Content:
Focussing on the economics of terrorism in the post 9/11 world, this book brings together original research based on the collaborative efforts of leading economists and planners. The authoritative and expert contributors use a variety of methodological approaches and apply them to different types of terrorist attacks (on airports, highways, seaports, electric power infrastructure, for example).
Note:
Based on a conference held in Aug. 2004 at the Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events, University of Southern California.
