English abstract
This paper assesses the ‘economic perspective’ on terrorism. It shows how the economic literature on terrorism has tried to incorporate ‘the social’ – norms, identity, belonging – and the psychological into apparently orthodox neo-classical economic explanations. The paper argues that the consequence is that much of this work no longer truly represents the ‘economic’ perspective it claims. The paper suggests other ways of thinking about the social and psychological that – evidence suggests – must be taken into account in understanding terrorism. The paper is relevant to the study of terrorism and to debates on economic method and ‘economics imperialism’ more broadly.
