The historical analysis presented in this video examines ways to approach terrorist threats. As BRUNO S. FREY explains, the findings show a new perspective on how to address the terrorist challenge. The specific policy proposals resulting from the study are decentralization of the state structures, providing lifestyle alternatives to the perpetrators, control over media coverage of terrorist actions and communication with terrorists.
