This book offers a multifaceted, analytical account of
counterterrorism argumentative speech. Traditionally, existing
scholarship in this field of research has taken a selective focus
on issues and actors, concentrating mainly on US state discourse
after 9/11. However, this approach ignores the fact that there was
counterterrorism speech before 9/11, and that there are other
countries and other actors who also actively engage in the
counterterrorism discursive field, both within and outside of the
Western world. Addressing several thematic, chronological and
methodological gaps in the current literature, Arguing
Counterterrorism offers a dynamic perspective on counterterrorism
argumentative speech. Over the course of the volume, the authors
tackle the following key issues: first, historical and cultural
continuity and change. Second, the phenomenology of
counterterrorism speech: its nature, instrumentalisation,
implications and interactions between the various actors involved.
The third theme is the anatomy of counterterrorism speech; namely
its political, cultural and linguistic constitutive elements.
Employing a multi-disciplinary framework, the authors explore these
issues through a geographically and historically diverse range of
case studies, resulting in a book that broadens the perspective of
counterterrorism argumentation analysis. This book will be of much
interest to students of critical terrorism studies,
counterterrorism, discourse analysis, security studies and IR.
