This book traces the evolution of the UN Security Council's actions
against terrorism and extremism. The work examines the progression
of the UN Security Council's fight against international terrorism
and its development of practices to prevent radicalisation and
extremism. It also looks at the consequences of these processes and
how they have deeply moulded global counter-terrorism. The book
looks at the discursive construction of a global threat and tracks
how this construction evolved in relation to the Council's
establishment of legal practices and bodies, and by its Members'
discourses. It argues that the very specific definition the Council
provided on international terrorism in the 2000s is profoundly
shaped by global hegemonies, relations of power shaping the
international community, and its own identity. To demonstrate this,
it offers a long genealogical perspective of the structure of the
UN since the 1930s and then focuses specifically on the
developments taking place in the 2000s. The book thus looks at the
Security Council's fight against international terrorism as a
global, globalised, and globalising enterprise. This book will be
of much interest to students of critical terrorism studies,
security studies, global governance, and International Relations.
