"""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. His coverage is comprehensive, offering both a broad overview of the existing literature as well as making new contributions to the field. 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"
