Summary/Abstract: The determining potential dynamics of terrorism, which have increased dramatically and became a vital problem in international system, must be investigated. In order to determine the potential economic, political, psychological and regional dynamics which stand out in the literature on terrorism, the study has used an econometric analysis by using Random Effects Panel Model, as well as qualitative analysis which depends on the period of 2002-2011 and 156 countries Case-Control Methodology. The findings show that terrorism has political dynamics such as levels of democratization and political instability but that it has not any systematic relationship with economic dynamics such as income level. As countries’ democratization level increases and political instability level decreases, the violence of terrorism decreases. Also, the number of casualties caused by terrorist acts and responses is a vital psychological factor increasing impact of the terrorism. On the other hand, countries within the regions in which there are problems of security have higher terrorism risk probability and, therefore, terrorism has also regional dynamics.
