TERRORISM: SCIENCE CONVERGENCE
TERRORISM: SCIENCE CONVERGENCE

Summary/Abstract: Terrorism is a challenging term because multiplicity of threats do not let easily define the exact range of responses on it. Instead, this problem can be solved only by complex means and by applying of interdisciplinary approaches. Here, we propose considering of complex systems to determine the possible negative impacts of terroristic threats — and especially in its correlation with the economy. The combination of science convergence approaches has the potential to establish safe development of states and regions (particularly of EU states). We choose for analysis data for some most involved in terrorist activity states (as a victim or as a aggressor), sourced by COE-DAT, WB and UNCTAD reports: number of attacks, the economic rate of state (GNI per capita, WDI), poverty rate, and FDI inward attraction of state. To this data we applied different mathematic approaches (correlation and cluster analysis, causality Granger test) that gave us statistically based, proved results: co-impact between terroristic situation in the state and its socio-economic development.
