Global counter-terrorism
A decolonial approach
This collection aims to inaugurate a new direction in research on counterterrorism by exploring global connections – both in terms of practices and discourses, as well as shared ideas and epistemes – that animate counterterrorism practices. The chapters – grouped under the themes of postcoloniality and coloniality, and entanglements of the transnational and the local, and counterterrorism and right-wing extremism – are attentive to global connections and are mindful of the complexities of global historical processes that constitute the politics of counterterrorism. This book aims to bring together scholars studying counterterrorism in the global North and the global South to explore convergence and divergence in how counterterrorism policies function in a range of national and local contexts.
