Since the infamous events of 9/11, the fear of terrorism and the
determination to strike back against it has become a topic of
enormous public debate. The 'war on terror' discourse has developed
not only through American politics but via other channels including
the media, the church, music, novels, films and television, and
therefore permeates many aspects of American life. Stuart Croft
suggests that the process of this production of knowledge has
created a very particular form of common sense which shapes
relationships, jokes and even forms of tattoos. Understanding how a
social process of crisis can be mapped out and how that process
creates assumptions allows policy-making in America's war on terror
to be examined from new perspectives. Using IR approaches together
with insights from cultural studies, this book develops a dynamic
model of crisis which seeks to understand the war on terror as a
cultural phenomenon.
