dc.description.abstractThis dissertation has set forth to answer a specific question: How does terroristic violence spatially relate to illicit finance? My analyses suggest that there is a mixed relationship between a state’s political, economic, and social effectiveness and the number of illicit firms, with some aspects of state functions negatively impacting and others positively impacting their continuation and proliferation. Furthermore, this relationship is uneven across the World Systems schema. Likewise, the relationship differs by the types of firms, with some – drug cartels and state-backed firms – having positive economic impact to the local and state economies. As such, neutralizing these firms will require careful policy creation that includes legitimate economic choices to mitigate the rationales for engaging illicit firms in the first place.
