Constructing Global Enemies asks how and why specific
interpretations of international terrorism and drug abuse have
become hegemonic at the global level. The book analyses the
international discourses on terrorism and drug prohibition and
compares efforts to counter both, not only from a contemporary but
also from a historical perspective. Utilising poststructuralist
theory of the relationship between hegemony and identity,
Herschinger argues that hegemony is much more than just the
dominance of a single country in international life; rather it is
the emergence of a hegemonic order that can best be understood as
the production of a new collective identity. Offering an in-depth
discussion of the methodology of discourse analysis, the book
explores how such hegemonies emerge and persist in the field of
security. This serves to explain the widespread disagreement
regarding the fight against international terrorism as well as the
successful suppression of counter-hegemonic projects in the field
of international drug prohibition. Constructing Global Enemies will
be of interest to students and scholars of international relations
and security studies.
