This inter-disciplinary edited volume critically examines the
dynamics of the War on Terror, focusing on the theme of the
politics of response. The book explores both how responses to
terrorism - by politicians, authorities and the media - legitimise
particular forms of sovereign politics, and how terrorism can be
understood as a response to global inequalities, colonial and
imperial legacies, and the dominant idioms of modern politics. The
investigation is made against the backdrop of the 7 July 2005
bombings in London and their aftermath, which have gone largely
unexamined in the academic literature to date. The case offers a
provocative site for analysing the diverse logics implicated in the
broader context of the War on Terror, for examining how terrorist
events are framed, and how such framings serve to legitimise
particular policies and political practices.
