9/11袭击表明了恐怖分子庇护所的战略重要性。除了东道国提供的庇护所外，世界各地的无人管辖地区也被恐怖组织利用，造成恐怖主义黑洞。本文探讨了无政府地区和恐怖组织之间的协同作用。国家失败不足以解释这些黑洞的产生，必须考虑到一个地区吸引恐怖主义团体的具体比较优势。介绍了比较优势的七个要素，其中政府控制的缺乏是突出的。最后，对西方存在恐怖黑洞的可能性进行了评估。
The 9/11 attacks demonstrated the strategic importance of terrorist sanctuaries. Aside from sanctuaries provided by host-states, ungoverned areas around the world are exploited by terrorist organizations resulting in terrorist black holes. This article explores the synergy between ungoverned areas and terrorist groups. State failure is not sufficient to explain the creation of these black holes, specific comparative advantages of an area to attract terrorist groups must be taken into account. Seven elements of comparative advantage are introduced of which lack of governmental control is salient. Finally, the possibility of terrorist black holes existing in the West is assessed.
