Evaluating the political rationality of terrorist groups
[electronic resource] /by Eric van Um. - Wiesbaden :Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden :2016. - xvii, 273 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.
This book improves our understanding of terrorists' motivations and rationality and may, ultimately, also indicate how to respond to the phenomenon of terrorism. In his research studies, Eric van Um explores the political rationality of terrorist groups. The political rationality model builds on rational choice theory. It demands that terrorist groups take into account the costs and benefits of their available options and choose the option promising them the highest political utility. Testing the explanatory power of this model is relevant, as rational choice approaches have become very prominent in terrorism research. But, at the same time, their empirical power remains highly contested. Increased knowledge of the political rationality model not only promises added value for terrorism research itself, but also for social sciences more generally. Contents n Terrorists' Psychological and Economic Rationality n Terrorists' Motives n The Puzzle of Inter-Terrorist Group Violence n The Puzzle of Terrorist Groups' Political Ineffectiveness n Testing the Explanatory Power of the Political Rationality Model Target Groups n Lecturers and students of social sciences specializing in security and terrorism research, conflict research, and economic theory n Employees of authorities and think tanks focused on security-related issues The Author Eric van Um received his doctorate degree fro< m the University of Hamburg in 2015. His research focus is on security economics, international security, and political violence.
