This dissertation addresses the varied means in which a terrorist group seeks to acquire, move and store resources and how this affects terrorist target selection autonomy. Second, it assesses how the quantity and quality of resources affects a terrorist group’s theoretical capabilities to engage in violent actions. The combination of terrorist group capabilities and autonomy leads to the creation of a typology of seven categories: state sponsored terrorist groups, franchises, popularly supported groups, lone wolves, state sponsoring groups, shell states and transnational corporation-like groups (TNCs). Those types with medium to high levels of both autonomy and capabilities are proven to have the highest average lifespan. Also, this study develops objective criteria for measuring the capability and autonomy of terrorist organizations.
