Sheehan (Graduate Programs in Dispute Resolution, U. of Massachusetts Boston) applies time series intervention analysis to test the extent to which military force escalation in the name of the "War on Terrorism" has increased or decreased transnational terrorism. The analysis extends through December 2004 and thereby tests the terrorism inflaming effects of the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as that of the capture of Saddam Hussein in December 2003 and the Abu Ghraib scandal of April 2004. Escalation is tested in terms of days terrorist incidents happen, the number of places they occur, and changes in the makeup of victims of attacks.
