Beschreibungen
<p>Terrorism will always be frontpage news – counterterrorism is often discussed as an afterthought, yet it is vitally important to understand what is done in the name of our safety.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Since 9/11, there has been a huge ramping up of the state’s special powers in the name of security, such as indefinite detention, the assassination of suspected terrorists, the use of extraordinary rendition, torture, and changes to due process. However, these powers are often shadowy, they are rarely rolled back, and they can be counterproductive. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> This book focuses on understanding the costs of counterterrorism and asking how they can be reduced; global in scope, it looks not just at Western liberal democracies, but at numerous examples from across the world.</p>

Leonie B Jackson is a Senior Lecturer in International Relations at Northumbria University and an editor of the journal Critical Studies on Terrorism.
<p>• Terrorism will remain a highly newsworthy topic for the foreseeable future – counterterrorism is often discussed as an afterthought, yet it is vitally important to understand what is done in the name of our safety</p>
<p> </p>
<p> • Adopts a truly global perspective, with case studies from a wide variety of contexts</p>
<p> </p>
<p> • Recent high-profile events, such as the UK’s decision b to remove the citizenship of British ISIS migrant Shamima Begum and concerns over ‘Incel’ and white supremacist political violence and its labelling (or not) as terrorism, demonstrate that general audiences need to understand how counterterrorism works today</p>
<p> </p>
<p> • Ultimately positive message: there are ways of recalibrating our response to terrorism. The increasing securitization of society need not continue forever</p>
