“…Additionally, Bashir et al (2022), Mehmood and Mehmood (2016), and Siddique et al (2017) found that terrorism deters domestic investment. Khan and Yu (2020) discovered that domestic business activities and trade‐related infrastructure in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation are negatively influenced by terrorist attacks.…”

“…Figure 1 further illustrates the consistent increase in military spending in Africa in the past two decades. Although studies such as Bashir et al (2022) and Agu et al (2023) have shown that terrorism impacts adversely on various economic indicators, the ability of military expenditure to effectively counteract this adverse effect has remained unexplored in the case of economic complexity in the region. Military expenditure can potentially offset the negative impact of terrorism in at least two ways.…”

Following the rising wave of terrorism in Africa, particularly in the last decade, this study investigated the effect of terrorism on economic complexity in the region as well as the moderating role of military expenditure in the terrorism–economic complexity relationship. A panel of 34 African economies was used over the period 2010–2021. The study also used the dynamic system generalized method of moments framework. We find that the unconditional effect of terrorism on economic complexity in Africa is predominantly negative and significant, and that military expenditure in the region has been ineffective in moderating this adverse effect. This finding remained robust regardless of whether terrorism is measured by the number of terrorism incidents, fatalities, injuries, or hostages. However, our results showed that industrialization, urbanization, and governance institutional quality are potent channels for promoting economic complexity in Africa. Among others, the study emphasized the need for policymakers and leaders in Africa to collaborate at the level of the African Union to address the detrimental effects of terrorism on the continent.

“…Globally, violent attacks against educational institutions have grown to levels unseen in more than 40 years since 2004 [2]. In comparison to other countries, Pakistan has faced more terrorists' targeted strikes on educational institutions, especially female schools [3]. According to the one organization named as Global Terrorism Index, Pakistan has the significant number in mortalities and wounds with vulnerable attacks against educational facilities that year, more than any other nation [4].…”

In times of hostilities, schools are most vulnerable to different threats and attacks. Armed groups violate children's rights to education all across the world by attacking schools, teachers, and students. In Pakistan, the extremism and armed conflict issues between different groups have prevented hundreds of thousands of youngsters from attending school, particularly females. On the subject of the educational security of institutions in Pakistan, numerous publications and reports have been made available. This work offers suggestions for improving the educational security of Pakistani institutions. Although some solutions have already been put forth, the fundamental contribution of this study is the mapping of the most important characteristics that will have the greatest influence on finding a solution for the educational security of institutions in Pakistan.
