Critical Terrorism Studies emerged around 2007, in the context of
the rapidly intensifying War on Terror. It was in this era that
"terrorism" became a "growth industry" which generated a huge
amount of academic research as well as social and political
activity. Yet a yawning gap developed between the actual material
threat posed by terrorists, and the level of investment and
activity devoted to responding to this threat. Similarly, the
quality of terrorism research was noticeably weak and lacking in
methodological rigour. Critical Terrorism Studies set out to
explore the exceptional treatment of political violence, to
challenge the political manipulation of terrorism fears and
increase in draconian anti-terrorism legislation, and to address
some of the conceptual and methodological failings of terrorism
research. In the 10 years since the journal Critical Studies on
Terrorism was launched, that context and mission remains as
important as ever. This volume looks back on the achievements and
failures of Critical Terrorism Studies in this period, as well as
collecting state of the art research into terrorism discourse,
queerness and the War on Terror, the Prevent Strategy, epistemology
in terrorism studies, state repression, the ambiguous ends of
militant campaigns, the epistemology of preventative
counterterrorism, and the question of non-violent responses to
terror. The chapters originally published in a special issue in
Critical Studies in Terrorism.
