Abstract: Terrorist attacks can occur anywhere. As the threat of terrorism develops, the China–Eurasia Expo held in Urumqi, China, is attracting fewer potential visitors. A nationwide survey of 2034 residents from 31 provinces/municipalities in China was conducted to examine the relation between the distance to respondents’ city of residence from Urumqi and their levels of concern for safety and security concerning the expo. The two were found to be positively related: the closer the respondents lived to ?rümqi, the less concerned they were with the safety and security of the expo. This is consistent with the ‘psychological typhoon eye’ effect, which states that people living closer to the centre of an unfortunate event (whether natural or man-made hazards) are less concerned with the event’s negative consequences. This effect appears to hold for terrorism. There are implications of this finding for international counter-terrorism practice, tourism, and research.

Abstract:[目的/意义]“9.11”后世界各地恐怖主义活动呈现出增长趋势,且主要区域集中在“一带一路”沿线国家。在“一带一路”建设过程中,中国海外利益安全隐患巨大,需要我们采取相应措施干预,达到安全风险转移和消减的目的。[方法/过程]我们根据恐怖主义事件数据分析恐怖袭击的时空演变和分布特征,评估沿线国家的安全形势。通过分析国际警务协作模式、国家武装护卫模式、安保市场化模式,比较其成本效益。[结果/结论]安保市场化是具有成本效益的综合风险管理方法,可以以最低的资源消耗换取最低的预期损失,达到中国海外利益安全风险转移和消减的目的。而中国私营安保公司国际安保业务短板较多,我国应从法律规范、专业人才培养、安防产业培育、市场准入与监管方面开展工作,支持中国私营安保公司走出国门保障中国海外利益安全。
