Armed conflict, on domestic or foreign soil, impacts people's daily
lives and shapes policy around the world. Millions live with the
threat of terrorism, whether from random sources or known enemies.
And the acceptability of torture is debated by politicians and
public alike. The International Handbook of War, Torture, and
Terrorism synthesizes historical backgrounds, current trends, and
findings from the Personal and Institutional Rights to Aggression
and Peace Survey (PAIRTAPS), administered in forty countries over
nine global regions. Contributors examine the social, cognitive,
and emotional roots of people's thinking on war and national
security issues, particularly concerning the role of governments in
declaring war, invading other countries, or torturing prisoners. By
focusing on the cultural traditions and colonial histories of broad
regions rather than of individual nations, the book demonstrates
how context shapes ordinary citizens' views on what is justifiable
during times of war, as well as more nebulous concepts of
patriotism and security. The Handbook: Introduces the PAIRTAPS and
explains the methodology for analyzing responses. Defines
war-related concepts from the unique perspectives of Western
Europe, U.K./U.S., Middle East, Gulf States, Russia/Balkans,
Africa, Latin America, South/Southeast Asia, and East Asia.
Provides an integrative summary of definitions and points of view.
Situates results in terms of social engagement/disengagement
theory. Considers implications for peace and reconciliation. As a
reflection of the changing global landscape, the International
Handbook of War, Torture, and Terrorism deserves to be read by a
wide range of researchers in peace psychology, political science,
sociology, and anthropology.
