This book reveals how counterterrorism discourses and practices
became the main tool of a systematic violation of human rights in
Egypt after the Arab Uprising. It examines how the civic and
democratic uprising in Egypt turned into robust authoritarianism
under the pretence of counterterrorism and the 'war on terror'. By
interrogating Egypt's counterterrorism legislation, the book
identifies a correlation between counterterrorism narratives and
the systemic violation of human rights. It examines the
construction of a national security state that has little tolerance
for dissent, political debate or the questioning of official
policy, and how the anti-terrorism measures undertaken are actually
anti-democracy strategies. The book also traces 150 years of
Egyptian counterterrorism and counterinsurgency discourse, and
analyses how this links with these practices of human rights
assaults. By investigating how this discourse constructs and
reproduces knowledge and meaning about terrorism and
counterterrorism practices in Egypt, the book highlights how the
government legitimises these violations against the population in
the interests of the ruling elite. This book will be of much
interest to students of terrorism studies, critical terrorism
studies, discourse theory, Middle Eastern politics, decoloniality,
and International Relations.
