Political economy analysis: economic costs of terrorism in Sub-Saharan Africa

This study looks at the trend, degree, and economic cost of terrorism in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Data were sourced from the Global Terrorism Database, the Global Terrorism Index, SIPRI, and world development indices. These countries were examined using a political economy analysis technique. The results demonstrated a significant detrimental impact of terrorism on the Sub-Saharan African economy. Addressing these difficulties necessitates a multifaceted approach that involves increasing security, boosting economic diversity, and addressing the socioeconomic causes of terrorism. Sub-Saharan African countries can reduce the economic impact of terrorism and promote long-term development by implementing a comprehensive approach.
