    Abstract

    The multiplication of terrorist attacks in Europe over the past few months raises questions with regard to the diffusion of terrorism. This commentary argues that the Islamic State aims indeed for the contagion of terror. There is also evidence from the academic literature that terror strategies and tactics can inspire groups. However, there is no evidence that one attack can trigger others automatically – with the exception of pathological cases.
