Abstract

In recent years a great number of scholars have been seeking to understand under the conditions that lead political groups use terror to pursue their goals. Much discussion has focused on the importance of regime type for predicting terrorist activity. Other studies focus on how the economic condition of the state might foster terrorism. In this research we consider the role of strain in the policy process on political terrorist violence. More specifically, we argue that the more opportunities for veto present in a political system, the more likely the system is to experience deadlock. High risk of deadlock reduces opportunities for policy change, frustrating political organizations within the state. We hypothesize that states with more veto players experience more domestic terrorism. The hypothesis is tested using domestic attacks around the globe that are documented in the Global Terrorism Database from 1970 to 2007. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
