emerald PUBLISHING The Impact of Global Terrorism on Economic and Political Development: Afro-Asian Perspectives

Global economic and political systems have been facing serious threats from different terrorist groups for the last few decades, and the implications of these incidences are increasing rapidly. This edited collection seeks to address and analyse the ramifications of terrorism and terrorist activities on economic and political systems in terms of the decline in GDP levels, increase in unnecessary military expenditure at the cost of social and economic developments, disincentives to the foreign investors, loss of diplomatic powers at global levels, social unrest, and increase in youth unemployment, poverty, political violence, and more. Whilst the book considers the effects of terrorism at a world-level, there is a specific focus on the economies in the Afro-Asian regions. This unique coverage of studies in quantitative economics and political systems offers postgraduate students, researchers and academics in the fields of political economics, international relations, and defence studies, among others, the opportunity to expand their knowledge on the impact of terrorism. Review Researchers working in India and Nigeria examine the impacts of terrorist activities upon different economies and groups in theoretical and empirical aspects with 14 of the 28 papers focusing on a specific country in Africa or Asia. Topics include public expenditure and trade policy, terrorism financing with cryptocurrency, a fuzzy multicriteria decision making model of violent conflict risk, foreign direct investment, crime and social deprivation across states in India, and female terrorists in Nigeria. -- Annotation ©2019 ― (protoview.com) About the Author Ramesh Chandra Das, PhD is presently Associate Professor of Economics at Katwa College, India with twenty years of teaching and research experience.
