Abstract
As terrorist groups turn into more complex organizations, and more effective technology becomes available to them, transnational counterterrorism policies related with their resources as well as their structures are needed. This article tries to explain why non-target countries enforce such regulations. According to this research work, target countries seek non-target countries to implement some counterterrorist policies. As a transnational ‘market-for-regulation’ is unfeasible due to transaction costs, these policies are imposed by means of implicit and/or explicit sanctions, which are applied if non-target countries fail to enforce the desired counterterrorism level.
