THE INFLUENCE OF TERRORISM ON THE DYNAMICS OF INSTITUTIONS. A NEOINSTITUTIONALIST ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: IN RECENT YEARS, TERRORISM BECAME A WIDE SPREAD TERM GLOBALLY, ESPECIALLY IN THE WESTERN WORLD. THIS PAPER ARGUES THAT, BY TERRORIST ATTACKS, THE PERPETRATORS HAVE IN MIND TO TRANSFORM THE INTERNAL STATE INSTITUTIONS FROM THOSE NEAR TO THE INCLUSIVE EXTREME OF THE AXIS, TO SOME INSTITUTIONAL SETTINGS CLOSER TO THE EXTRACTIVE SIDE, BY AIMING TO GENERATE A SEVERE RESPONSE BY THE STATE, THROUGH RETALIATION AND RESTRICTIONS. IN THIS INSTANCE, THIS PAPER WILL USE THE THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE PROVIDED BY THE NEW INSTITUTIONAL ECONOMICS, IN THE INTERPRETATION OF DARON ACEMOGLU AND JAMES A. ROBINSON, WHO USE A CONCEPTUAL DICHOTOMY DIVIDING THE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS IN THOSE WITH INCLUSIVE AND EXTRACTIVE CHARACTER.
