Challenging the standard paradigm of terrorism research through the
use of Norbert Elias's figurational sociology, Michael Dunning
explores the development of terrorism in Britain over the past two
centuries, focusing on long-term processes and shifting power
dynamics. In so doing, he demonstrates that terrorism as a concept
and designation is entwined with its antithesis, civilization. A
range of process sociological concepts are deployed to tease out
the sociogenesis of terrorism as part of Britain's relationships
with France, Ireland, Germany, the Soviet Union, the industrial
working classes, its colonies, and, most recently, jihadism. In
keeping with the figurational tradition, Dunning examines the
relationships between broad, macro-level processes and processes at
the level of individual psyches, showing that terrorism is not
merely a 'thing' done to a group, but part of a complex web of
interdependent relations.
