This book maps and analyses the official British construction of
the threat of cyberterrorism. By using interpretive discourse
analysis, this book identifies 'strands' from a corpus of policy
documents, statements, and speeches from UK Ministers, MPs, and
Peers between 12 May 2010 and 24 June 2016. The book examines how
the threat of cyberterrorism was constructed in the UK, and what
this securitisation has made possible. The author makes novel
contributions to the Copenhagen School's 'securitisation theory'
framework by outlining a 'tiered' rather than monolithic audience
system; refining the 'temporal' and 'spatial' conditioning of a
securitisation with reference to the distinctive characteristics of
cyberterrorism; and, lastly, by detailing the way in which popular
fiction can be ascribed agency to 'fill in' an absence of
'cyberterrorism' case studies. He also argues that the UK
government's classification of cyberterrorism as a 'Tier One'
threat created a central strand upon which a discursive
securitisation was established. This book will be of interest to
students of Critical Security Studies, terrorism studies, UK
politics, and international relations.
