The article analyzes the concept of terrorism and identifies the reasons for the ambiguity and number of approaches to the essence of the term. The essence of the concept of "terrorism" is considered from different positions, namely: as a type of organized crime of sociopolitical nature, as a sociopolitical phenomenon, as a threat to national and global economies, as a result of social, political, economic and territorial conflicts. Subjective and objective causes and signs of terrorism are identified. An information model of terrorism as a threat to national and global security has been developed. The symptoms of the problem of preventing and counteracting the financing of terrorism and the consequences it causes have been studied. Peculiarities of public administration in the field of prevention and counteraction to terrorist financing are determined. Keywords: terrorism, threat, national security, counteraction to terrorism.

AbstractRemittances have been recognized as an important determinant of economic growth for Sub-Saharan African economies as they can finance other determinants that constitute drivers of growth. To the extent that remittances finance terrorism, they can also inhibit economic growth as terrorism can constrain important drivers of growth such as investment and consumption expenditures. In this paper, we appeal to a theory of rational terrorism and consider whether remittances to Sub-Saharan Africa finance terrorism. We estimate the parameters of a static and dynamic terrorism incident supply function with maximum likelihood and Generalized Estimating Equation count data estimators for Sub-Saharan Africa between 1974 and 2006. Our parameter estimates suggest that for Sub-Saharan Africa, remittances are a source of finance for terrorism. We find that approximately one terrorism incident is financed in Sub-Saharan Africa for remittance inflows that range between approximately one quarter of a million dollars and one million dollars.
