Using a novel data set that reports countries of residence and educational levels of a large sample of Daesh's foreign recruits, this paper finds that a lack of economic opportunities-measured by unemployment rates disaggregated by country and education level-explains foreign enrollment in the terrorist organization, especially for countries that are geographically closer to the Syrian Arab RepublicPPN: PPN: 1022188313Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-WBA | ZDB-110-WBONo physical items for this record
