Andreev A.P., Latov, Y.V., Idrisov, R.F. Economic aspects of terrorist activities.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the economic aspects of terroristic activity, since its escalation poses a growing threat to the security of most of the states in the world, causing huge economic, social, political and moral costs. Using vast amounts of Russian and foreign materials, the authors provide detailed analysis of economic losses from the acts of terrorism and counter-terrorist measures caused by them in specific states and branches of economy. The authors evaluate the issues of anti-terrorism activities and their optimization, as well as the insurance systems and compensation of damages, caused by the acts of terrorism. The study is based upon a complex method, involving the methods of categorical, empiric, subject-object, problem-chronological, comparative, structural-functional and statistical analysis. The scientific novelty is due to the social and economic substantiation of the comprehensive concept for fighting modern terrorism with due recognition of its modification and specifics of its manifestations due to the modern economic globalization processes, as well as due to the development of recommendations for making fight against terrorism more efficient and for lowering its economic, social, political, ethnic-cultural and moral costs.
