Transnational Terrorism's Affect on the U.S. Economy

摘要

The strategic economic impact experienced following the terrorist attacks on September 11 2001 is startling. It was only after the immediate crises that the United States and nations around the world realized the implications -- and conduced the attacks threatened the very existence of democracy and capitalism. Nations from around the world denounced terrorist acts and vowed to take part in the war against terrorism. But regardless of the numbers of nations who have denounced terrorism organizations like al Qaeda remain willing to sacrifice their existence to defeat democracy and capitalism. Today two years after the terrorist attacks the blow to the U.S. economic stability is still visible; however the research in this paper indicates the U. S. economy is very resilient and that it would take a great deal of domestic and external pressure to generate a long-term and lasting economic affect. This paper analyzes the impact terrorism has had on the U.S. economy and seeks to determine how well the U.S. economy will stand to future terrorist attacks on U. S. soil that match magnitude of economic affect caused by the attacks of September 11 2001. To the veterans.
