TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Stop them in their tracks: migration policies, drug markets, and terrorism JO - Journal of applied security research A1 - Avdan, Nazli SP - 390 EP - 426 VL - 14 IS - 4 N2 - Do migration policies shape the drug-terrorism nexus? A narrow empirical scholarship shows that drug trafficking heightens the rate of terrorism. To date, however, scholars have not investigated how state policies affect the connection between drug markets and terrorism. I address this lacuna by showing that visa and mobility restrictions temper but do not eradicate the drug-terrorism connection. While visa policies are effective, overall migration policy changes have inconclusive effects on the nexus. This article contributes to the crime-terror literature by highlighting the conditions under which the connection can be mitigated by state policies.
