This volume aims to 'bring the state back into terrorism studies'
and fill the notable gap that currently exists in our understanding
of the ways in which states employ terrorism as a political
strategy of internal governance or foreign policy. Within this
broader context, the volume has a number of specific aims. First,
it aims to make the argument that state terrorism is a valid and
analytically useful concept which can do much to illuminate our
understanding of state repression and governance, and illustrate
the varieties of actors, modalities, aims, forms, and outcomes of
this form of contemporary political violence. Secondly, by
discussing a rich and diverse set of empirical case studies of
contemporary state terrorism this volume explores and tests
theoretical notions, generates new questions and provides a
resource for further research. Thirdly, it contributes to a
critical-normative approach to the study of terrorism more broadly
and challenges dominant approaches and perspectives which assume
that states, particularly Western states, are primarily victims and
not perpetrators of terrorism. Given the scarceness of current and
past research on state terrorism, this volume will make a genuine
contribution to the wider field, particularly in terms of ongoing
efforts to generate more critical approaches to the study of
political terrorism. This book will be of much interest to students
of critical terrorism studies, critical security studies, terrorism
and political violence and political theory in general. Richard
Jackson is Reader in International Politics at the University of
Wales, Aberystwyth. He is the founding editor of the Routledge
journal, Critical Studies on Terrorism and the convenor of the BISA
Critical Studies on Terrorism Working Group (CSTWG). Eamon Murphy
is Professor of History and International Relations at Curtin
University of Technology in Western Australia. Scott Poynting is
