- Abstract
The article discusses a basic microeconomic model of terrorist decision making. It presents a hypothesis of how a democratic government might influence the sorts of strategies that terrorists use. It stresses that mathematical models have been used to explain terrorist behavior in the past. It states that the bulk of inquires in this area focuses on the relationship between terrorists and the government or amongst terrorists themselves. It tackles the significance of voters or citizens as important determinants of how a government will respond to acts of terrorism.
