The term 'War on Terror' (WOT) covers a mass of interlinked
topics. Here an outstanding group of authors and academics dissect
them from ethical, political, legal, economic and historical
perspectives.
Drawn from the world-famous Oxford Amnesty Lectures, the essays
are substantial contributions to their fields and of abiding
relevance. Here it is argued that members of active terrorist
groups should be pre-emptively executed; that there is no provision
for WOT in international law; that WOT is not cost-efficient; that
war and terrorism can no longer be distinguished; and that the term
'terrorist' has been captured by a specific political constituency.
The arguments of the celebrated contributors, from Ahdaf Soueif to
Joanna Bourke, are confirmed or contradicted by their respondents,
resulting in broad, scholarly coverage of the issues. The book
concludes with a fatwa against terrorism.
The War on Terror lies at the heart of current debate about
immigration, multiculturalism and foreign policy. It is one of the
determining debates in the politics of today. This volume will be
of interest to students of politics, law and religion and to anyone
concerned with current affairs. It covers the politics of the
Middle East and the Iraq War, human rights in Islam and the West
and the ethics of intervention. This is a powerful contribution to
an urgent debate.
