This volume is a timely contribution to the current debates and
potential efforts to study and counter the phenomena of extreme
right violence in a period when the rise of right-wing extremism is
being witnessed across the globe. Against this backdrop, the
violent radicalisation and extremism of individuals and groups
belonging to the extreme right threaten to undermine and
destabilize societies and democratic orders, leaving a research gap
that has only started to be filled in recent years, but that is
still quite wide when it comes to counter-terrorism approaches to
extreme right violence. Learning from the past, and trying to avoid
similar mistakes, this volume creates a much-needed space for open,
honest, and ethical debate around countering extreme right
violence, answering social and political calls to debate how to
counter this kind of violence. This volume brings together a group
of interdisciplinary scholars to contribute to national and
international, academic and policy debates about countering extreme
right violence from a critical perspective. Volume I focuses
particularly on exploring how extreme right violence has been
approached, narrated and made sense of in different spatial and
temporal contexts, examining how political actors such as media and
politicians portray the threat of and actual violence perpetrated
by the extreme right, deconstructing current counter-terrorism
approaches, and formulating a critical approach to researching
extreme right violence. It will be of great interest to all
students of terrorism studies, security studies, international
relations, and political science in general. The chapters in this
book were originally published in Critical Studies on Terrorism.

actual violence perpetrated by the extreme right, deconstructing
current counter-terrorism approaches from feminist and gender
perspectives, and formulating a critical approach to countering

Bringing together established and emerging voices in Critical
Terrorism Studies (CTS), this book offers fresh and dynamic
reflections on CTS and envisages possible lines of future research
and ways forward. The volume is structured in three sections. The
first opens a space for intellectual engagement with other
disciplines such as Sociology, Peace Studies, Critical Pedagogy,
and Indigenous Studies. The second looks at topics that have not
received much attention within CTS, such as silences in discourses,
the politics of counting dead bodies, temporality or anarchism. The
third presents ways of 'performing' CTS through research-based
artistic performances and productions. Overall, the volume opens up
a space for broadening and pushing CTS forward in new and
imaginative ways. This book will be of interest to students of
critical terrorism studies, critical security studies, sociology
and International Relations in general.
This book traces the evolution of the UN Security Council's actions
against terrorism and extremism. The work examines the progression
of the UN Security Council's fight against international terrorism
and its development of practices to prevent radicalisation and
extremism. It also looks at the consequences of these processes and
how they have deeply moulded global counter-terrorism. The book
looks at the discursive construction of a global threat and tracks
how this construction evolved in relation to the Council's
establishment of legal practices and bodies, and by its Members'
discourses. It argues that the very specific definition the Council
provided on international terrorism in the 2000s is profoundly
shaped by global hegemonies, relations of power shaping the
international community, and its own identity. To demonstrate this,
it offers a long genealogical perspective of the structure of the
UN since the 1930s and then focuses specifically on the
developments taking place in the 2000s. The book thus looks at the
Security Council's fight against international terrorism as a
global, globalised, and globalising enterprise. This book will be
of much interest to students of critical terrorism studies,
security studies, global governance, and International Relations.
This book explores and inquiries into the interrelation between
normativity and Critical Terrorism Studies (CTS) from a wide range
of critical views. The volume draws together authors with very
different positions and understandings of normativity and
policy-implementations in relation to countering terrorism, to
offer the reader a wide range of perspectives and views on this
topic. As such, the book is aimed at interrogating the concept of
normativity in CTS from a wide range of theoretical angles but also
at incorporating within the CTS' agenda new debates and critiques.
In its chapters, the book covers debates that go from more
philosophical, theoretical, and ethical discussions to questions
revolving around the importance and need of being policy-relevant
for CTS scholars. All in all, this volume brings together chapters
joining the debate on CTS' main theoretical tenants and the role of
critical scholars in counter-terrorism and prevention policies.
Covering a broad spectrum of approaches and perspectives, authors
in this book give different answers to central questions such as:
how can we rethink CTS? What is the role of the critical terrorism
studies community in countering terrorism? The chapters in this
book were originally published in the journal, Critical Studies on
Terrorism.

Encountering Extremism offers readers the opportunity to
interrogate extremism through a plethora of theoretical
perspectives and explore counter-extremism as it has materialised
in plural local contexts. Offering a unique, in-depth critical
interrogation, this volume seeks to understand and expose the
implications of a fundamental problematic: how should scholars and
strategists alike understand the contemporary shift from
counter-terrorism to counter-extremism? Representing the first
collection of scholarly works encountering this present problem of
extremism and counter-extremism, this edited volume addresses the
need for a critical examination of both the theoretical and the
practical implications of this recent conceptual shift. For this
very reason, this book brings together a diverse range of scholars,
experts and practitioners to present valuable multidisciplinary
analyses of the theory and practicalities of countering extremism.
It is in this combination of both theoretical investigation and
empirical analyses of local realities that the volume finds its
added value, offering a unique contribution to a vital field of
academic study. -- .
