Abstract

This study describes the relationship between inequality, poverty and terrorism. Understanding such a relationship helps policy makers to develop effective policies to encounter terrorism. Poverty and inequality are important factors that cause terrorism. Terrorism can be seen as a symptom of social disorganization and the unequal distribution of means of success in society. Inequality may work as motivating factor for people to become involved in terrorist activities.
