Terrorism in the Worlds of Welfare Capitalism
Tim Krieger and Daniel Meierrieks, July 2010
Summary
Many Western European countries have suffered from major episodes of terrorist activity on their own soil since the 1950s (Engene 2007). While such terrorism has resulted in thousands of victims, it has also entailed notable negative economic and political effects. Several studies analyze the impact of terrorism on economic and political factors in Western Europe.1 As these direct and indirect costs are considerable, this contribution seeks to investigate the determinants of homegrown (homeland) terrorism in Western Europe.
