Economic terrorism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The concept of terrorism economic is discussed and generally used in a polemical or demagogic way to associate the term “terrorism” a country, a company or a marked group of abuses.
Nevertheless, it is also used in a way more strictly defined to indicate an economic attempt at destabilization by a group. More precisely, the Center of policy of safety of Geneva defined in 2005 economic terrorism in the following way:
- "Contrary to “economic warfare” which is undertaken by states against other states, “economic terrorism” would be undertaken by transnational or non-state actors. This could entail varied, coordinated and sophisticated or massive destabilizing actions in order to disrupt the economic and financial stability of a state, a group of states or a society (such as market oriented western societies) for ideological or religious motives.
- These actions, if undertaken, may be violent or not. They could have either immediate effects or carry psychological effects which in turn have economic consequences."[1]
