- Further Information
- The causes and consequences of terrorism are Karin’s research focus. In her dissertation she is pursuing the question of which conditions create an environment where terrorism is likely to emerge and which policy measures and reforms are effective in countering terrorism threats. For this purpose, she is empirically assessing the geographic roots of terrorism and factors that contribute to an environment creating political violence. Based on an extended version of the Global Terrorism Database she is also tracing the development of different ideological forms of terrorism, illustrating the rise of religious terrorism and assessing which role religious terrorism plays compared to other ideological forms. The second part of the dissertation discusses impacts of terrorism with a strong focus on the economy. A section about the impacts of terrorism on tourism links her research to the tourism focus of MODUL University Vienna.
