Tunisia has always been affected by terrorism, but since the late 2011s there has been a sharp increase in terrorism perpetrated. The object of this research is to analyze the socio-economic determinants of terrorism using terrorist attacks as a dependent variable and indicators that affect the level of growth in Tunisia such as explanatory variables. The aim of this work is to develop recommendations on how to respond to the state in response to terrorist shocks. The following policy implications were deduced. First, we must increase the level of growth of the country by stabilizing the policy and by controlling governance to show the effectiveness of the results of this study which aims at reducing terrorism and improving the country's economic conditions. Second, in view of the results found in this research, terrorism can stabilize the long-term labor market through investment by putting in place realistic economic policies that are time-bound to encourage the State to create vacancies for the unemployed.
