This volume examines the lessons and legacies of the U.S.-led
"Global War on Terror," utilizing the framework of a political
"moral panic." A decade after 9/11, it is increasingly difficult to
deny that terror has prevailed - not as a specific enemy, but as a
way of life. Transport, trade, and communications are repeatedly
threatened and disrupted worldwide. While the pace and intensity of
terror attacks have abated, many of the temporary security measures
and sacrifices of liberty adopted in their immediate aftermath have
become more or less permanent. This book examines the social,
cultural, and political drivers of the war on terror through the
framework of a "political moral panic": the exploration of threats
to particular individuals or institutions that come to be viewed as
threats to a way of life, social norms and values, civilization,
and even morality itself. Drawing upon a wide range of domestic and
international case studies, this volume reinforces the need for
reason, empathy, and a dogged defence of principle in the face of
terror. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism
studies, human rights, U.S. foreign policy, American politics, and
Security Studies and I.R. in general.
