- Is domestic instability the determing cause of international terrorism?
-
Since 9/11 donors have increasingly provided aid to those states who were 'committed' to tackle domestic instability, and so, it was hoped, stop the rise of terrorism. However is this focus on domestic instability the right course of action? Does the evidence of past terror attacks concur with ‘donor’ behaviour? This paper presents an analysis of terrorist attacks from over 130 countries to determine what the main causes of international terrorism are.
