“…Barro (1994) and Tavares and Wacziarg (2001) both find a negative but insignificant correlation between democracy 9 This is a possible conclusion from a study by Atkinson, Sandler and Tschirhart (1987). These authors examine the impact of changes in bargaining costs, bluffing and other features of the negotiating environment on the length and severity of the attacks and find that increases in bargaining costs lengthen the duration of a terrorist incident.…”

“…Fewer terrorist incidents in the United States have been recorded for the first half of the 1990s; however, their nature and magnitude are more severe than those of past years" events. Experts indicate that terrorism will continue to victimize "soft" targets, attacks will become more indiscriminate, terrorism will become institutionalized as a method of armed conflict, it will spread geographically, and the public will witness more terrorism than ever due to the media"s improved ability to cover terrorist incidents (Atkinson, Sandler, and Tschirhart 1987;Jenkins 1988).…”

Abstract:While tourists are free to avoid destinations associated with risk, the consequences of disastrous events on tourist destinations are inescapable and can be profound. Terrorism that targets tourism can be viewed as a disaster for a destination and ensuing events can create a serious tourism crisis. This article argues that tourist destinations-especially those vulnerable to politically motivated violence -should incorporate crisis management planning into their overall sustainable development and marketing/management strategies to protect and rebuild their image of safety/attractiveness, to reassure potential visitors of the safety of the area, to reestablish the area"s functionality/attractiveness, and to aid local travel and tourism industry members in their economic recovery. Recommendations include having a crisis management plan in place, establishing a tourism crisis management task force, developing a crisis management guidebook, and partnering with law enforcement officials.

This paper aims to improve our understanding of how transnational terrorist organizations emerge, survive, thrive, and eventually die. We use a data set that catalogues terrorist organizations and their attacks over time (the ITERATE data base of thousands of terrorist events from 1968 through 2007) and merge those data with socio-economic information about the environment in which each attack occurs. We use these data to trace the life-cycle pattern of terrorist activity and the organizations that perpetrate them. We identify at least two types of terrorist organizations -recidivists and one-hit wonders. We find that recidivist organizations, those that have repeatedly attacked, are less likely to survive once political and socio-economic factors have been included. However, we find that sporadic or one-hit wonders are not easily deterred by socio-economic factors, leaving open a role for counter-insurgency tactics.JEL Codes: E6, H1, H5, D74, O11
