Description
Summary:This thesis will attempt to explain the factors contributing to security cooperation in combating terrorism in the post- September 11 era by utilizing a public-private good approach. After the September 11 attacks, the United States chose to combat terrorism through the creation of a new coalition instead of the maintenance of the original NATO alliance framework. In this context, the study assumes that free riding is not possible. Instead, it believes a states decision to support the new coalition will depend on its calculations between the pay-offs it derives from public and private goods and the consequent domestic cost.
