Why has the war on terror been so pervasive in Western democracies?
How is it that the war on terror became such a potent organising
principle after September 11, 2001? The answers to these questions
go beyond the nature of 9/11 as an event and the subsequent
counter-terrorism responses. A vital part of the answer is the
embedding of norms and stereotypes of foreign policy in everyday
practices of security and social regulation. Mass media
communication and popular culture representations of 9/11 have
given rise to the social redeployment of foreign policy against
domestic identities that are deemed a threat to Western nations.
This book argues that the war on terror is a paradigmatic foreign
policy that has had profound effects on domestic social order.
Cameron develops an original framework that inverts the traditional
analysis of foreign policy in order to interpret its impact on
domestic subject formation. Foreign policy facilitates the
regulation of domestic populations by linking individual and group
identity to issues of national security. Since September 11, 2001
there has been a wholesale reorganisation of foreign policy
priorities, resulting in the valorisation of certain social
stereotypes and the criminalisation of others.
