"The Economics of Terrorism by Peter Phillips is a well-executed, ambitious work. Using clear and concise language, Dr. Phillips provides a cutting edge analysis of issues related to terrorism using both traditional economic principles as well as novel tools from emerging sub-fields, such as behavioral economics and evolutionary economics.

This book is essential reading for both established researchers and practitioners, as well as those who are new to the subject." — Timothy Mathews, Professor of Economics, Coles College of Business, Kennesaw State University, USA
