| Abstract: | Terrorists, elected policymakers, and voters are included in the three-stage proactive game introduced in this article. The game consists of two targeted countries, where a representative voter selects an elected policymaker to decide proactive countermeasures to ameliorate a transnational terrorist threat. Voters' choice is affected by consideration about free riding on the other countries countermeasures and limiting a reprisal terrorist attack. The terrorist, whose attacks affect voters' actions, benefit from the following low proactive countermeasures. The delegation problem where leadership by voters has a detrimental consequence on the well-being of targeted countries, is the reason behind these results. |
