Terrorism and Its Implications on Global Trade Flows

My thesis will investigate whether terrorism has a significant effect on global trade flows. My contribution to the field of political science from this research question will further provide research towards the study of the effects terrorism has on states’ economies. Trade is a primary portion of a state’s economy so there is value in looking at how terrorism impacts a state’s ability to trade and their trade deficits/imbalances. Knowledge to further understand fluctuations in global trade flows is essential in understanding contrasting or similar fluctuations in the larger global economic climate.
