Document Summary
Blomberg - periods of economic slowdown will see an increase of terrorism. The corrado model looks at parts of each competing model. Hypothesis 1: when people lack the means to reach economic goals, it increases terrorism. Hypothesis 2: when a smaller group of people hold a higher concentration of the wealth, anti-state terrorism increases. Hypothesis 3: when a country"s economy has a high level of dependency (ie. dependent good or service drops in price, economy takes a hard hit), anti-state terrorism more likely. Hypothesis 4. 1: third world countries that have previously had dictators or a suppressed political party are likelier to have longer anti-state terrorism campaigns. Hypothesis 4. 2: in the first world countries, anti-state terrorism is more prevalent than third world because there are more freedoms and readily available resources and the ability to freely discuss the government. Hypothesis 5: when you have an effective counter-terrorism strategy, anti-state terrorism decreases.
