Can Terrorism Abroad Influence Migration Attitudes at Home?
This article demonstrates that public opinion on migration âat homeâ is systematically driven by terrorism in other countries. Although there is little substantive evidence linking refugees or migrants to most recent terror attacks in Europe, news about terrorist attacks can trigger more negative views of immigrants. However, the spatial dynamics of this process are neglected in existing research. We argue that feelings of imminent danger and a more salient perception of migration threats do not stop at national borders. The empirical results based on spatial econometrics and data on all terrorist attacks in Europe for the post-9/11 period support these claims. The effect of terrorism on migration concern is strongly present within a country, but also diffuses across states in Europe. This finding improves our understanding of public opinion on migration, spill-over effects of terrorism, and it highlights crucial lessons for scholars interested in the security implications of population movements

The Washington Consensus and Armed Conflict: Impacts on health care and education
John Tirman explores how the assault on public institutions in the last two or three decades have created destabilizing conditions with particular reference to health and education. He suggests that the IFIs acknowledge the deficiencies of their early policies and even the Bush administration includes them in its Millennium Challenge Accounts. He looks at what happens in health and education during conflict in order to illustrate how poorly designed policies lead to tragic results.
