This volume brings together interviews with leading scholars to
discuss some of the most important issues associated with
radicalization, violent extremism and terrorism. The overall aim of
these interviews is to move beyond the 'conventional wisdom' over
radicalization and violent extremism best represented by many of
its well-known slogans, metaphors, aphorisms alongside various
other thought-terminating cliches. A vast range of topics are
tackled in these conversations, including issues as diverse as the
genealogy of radicalization and violent extremism, the rhetoric of
emergency politics ('the language of fear'), the ethics of
securitization, mutual radicalization, the challenges arising out
of the relationship between cognitive and behavioural
radicalization, Islamism bias in research on radicalization, the
ethics of espionage (as an integral element of the 'war on
terror'), the epistemic dimension of radicalization, the
application of the just war conceptual framework to terrorism, and
the ethics of exceptional means when addressing security-related
issues, to name a few. The unifying assumption of the interviews in
the volume is the complex nature of radicalization, violent
extremism and conflicting diversity, as well as their interwoven
relationship. While radicalization has become one of the 'great
buzzwords' of the intelligence and security 'industry', pleas for
its very abandonment as a useful analytical category have also
started to emerge. This book will be of much interest to students
of terrorism studies, radicalisation, violent extremism, security
studies and International Relations, in general.
