Abstract

Contrary to governments, terrorist groups may not finance themselves through taxes, or recruit their military human resources. Instead, they resort to ideological attractions in order to attract military forces and financial support, in order to perform their operations. In this paper, using game theory, we have modeled various terrorism behaviors, showing that complete annihilation of terrorism is not possible via game theory. Also, we have modeled best decisions made by governments, confronting this problem.
