	abstract = {The Global Terrorism Index (GTI) is a comprehensive body of work which systematically ranks the nations of the world according to their terrorist activity. The index combines a number of factors associated with terrorist attacks to build a thorough picture of the impact of terrorism over a 10-year period, illustrating trends, and providing a useful data series for further analysis by researchers and policymakers. Produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), the GTI is based on data from the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) which is collected and collated by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START). The GTD is considered to be the most comprehensive dataset on terrorist activity and has codified over 104,000 cases of terrorism. This report summarizes changing trends in terrorism over time, as well as analyzing its different dimensions in terms of geographic activity, methods of attack, organizations involved, and its national context in terms of economic development and governance. The index has also been compared to other socioeconomic indicators to determine what factors are commonly associated with terrorism. The definition of what constitutes a terrorist attack is “the threatened or actual use of illegal force and violence by a non-state actor to attain a political, economic, religious, or social goal through fear, coercion, or intimidation”. This definition excludes perceived acts of state terror, such as drone attacks resulting in civilian casualties. As the vast literature on terrorism shows, there are many competing definitions, but for consistency this report adopts the GTD definition which is elaborated in more detail in the next section of this report. The data shows the global impact of terrorism has increased significantly from 2002 to 2011, peaking in 2007 and then slightly falling to approximately 2006 levels in 2011. The current global trend of terrorism can best be described as plateauing rather than decreasing. This is somewhat offset by terrorist activity increasing in more countries than it decreased in, with 72 countries experiencing increased activity and 63 experiencing decreased activity over the last decade.},
