Abstract:
|
Terrorism is a strategy designed to further a political agenda by a system of violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets, thereby instilling fear and intimidation among a wider audience. A decision to utilize this strategy reflects a group's goals and its ability to recruit. Drawing on principal-agent analysis of participation and incentive compatibility constraints and the analytical tradition of rent-seeking contests, a model is developed to demonstrate that the structure of the allocation of non-pecuniary rewards plays an important role in determining political success, deterring defection within the terrorist group, and shaping recruitment. By examining the organizational structure, we can better understand patterns of recruitment and allegiance of terrorist groups. |
