Professors Shiffman and Jochum bring a rare combination of practical experience and rigorous academic economics to urgent questions of national security. Specific policies such as counterterrorism, foreign aid and international law are approached in a framework that considers institutions of government and respects individual incentives. They have crafted an engaging book that we'd like to see our policymakers reading on airplanes. --Eli Berman, University of California San Diego, author of Radical, Religious and Violent: The New Economics of Terrorism Shiffman and Jochum's important book illuminates the levers--some open, many hidden, all subject to interpretation--that drive the decision-making behaviors of individuals within institutions and systems. Their insights suggest that in a very real sense economic security is national security and vice versa, and that an economic approach to the analysis of decision-making has much to offer scholars, leaders and practitioners in the field. --David J.
