According to a collaborated study conducted by Daniel Milton, Megan Spencer and Michael Findely on the influx of refugees and transnational terrorism, countries with a significant refugee population are at high risk of transnational terrorism. This study focuses on the radicalization of refugees with respect to conditions in refugee camps and on the treatment of refugees in the host country. According to this study, most refugees experience miserable living conditions inside the camp as most camps are unsanitary and lack the basic resources or health care. (Findley, Milton, Spencer 2013). In addition, it is very typical that the refugees are treated poorly by the host country for the fear of a threat to the economy, national security and rates

In fact, a major influx of refugees into a certain country does increase the likelihood of civil war and transnational conflict. In terms of domestic conflict, refugees can disturb the balance of power both economically and politically; therefore, giving rise to domestic instability. Furthermore, according to their study, refugee camps are very likely to give rise to radicalization of refugees due to limited resources, lack of mobility, poor conditions and even fear of uncertain future or hopelessness. In the refugee camps, refugees suffer from poor sanitation, a lack of appropriate sheltering and resources such a clean water supply and food. Thus, given the poor conditions at the level of proper sanitation and the lack of clean living conditions, the refugees are faced with the dire reality of hopelessness and will often result to violence in completion for sufficient sources. In fact, it is very common in terms of psychology that people in a state of panic faced with the dire reality of hopelessness will most likely resort to violence to insure …show more content…
In response to this state of dire panic, one often looks for extreme measures to escape the maze by yelling for help and even by attempting to climb the walls of the maze as a drastic measure to escape. In the terms of terrorism, refugee camps are more than likely be isolated from the mainstream society of a host country; this alongside the radicalization inside the refugee camps provides a fertile ground for terrorist recruit and laundering of weapons that is practically undetected from international
