Destabilization of terrorist networks

Abstract

This paper uses a three-phase process to first describe the development of a network to describe different types of relations between terrorists and their supporters. It continues to review some of the usual measures of social network analysis to evaluate different positions in the network. Finally, the work describes different methods to destabilize the terrorist network, and, based on sensitivity analyses, determines the potential of certain actions and the vulnerability of the network.
