Using rare field research, this book investigates whether and how
talking may transform terrorist violence. Given the failings of
today's dominant counterterrorism strategy, is talking a viable
policy option to transform conflicts marked by terrorist violence?
This book examines the reasons why "negotiating with terrorists" is
so often shunned by decision-makers and scholars as a policy
response, concluding that such objections are primarily based on a
realist and statist understanding of terrorism that has dominated
the field so far. Based on interviews with top rebel and military
commanders in the southern Philippine region of Mindanao and
interviewing key actors in Northern Ireland, Terrorism, Talking and
Transformation investigates how talking may contribute to the
transformation of conflicts marked by terrorist violence. The
result of this analysis is a theoretically grounded, empirically
recognizable and emancipation oriented framework that can be used
to investigate the potential of talking in transforming not only
terrorist (and counterterrorist) violence, but also the underlying
structural violence that often surrounds it. This book will be of
much interest to students in the fields of terrorism studies,
security studies, Southeast Asian studies, conflict
resolution/transformation and IR in general, and of use to
practitioners in the field.

Originally published in 1984, the aim of this book was to interest
clinical neuroscientists in the application of neurometrics to the
evaluation of brain dysfunction in neurological patients. This
methodology was hoped to produce substantial improvement in the
neurological medical care of the general population at the time. In
the previous 15 years, as a result of the development of
minicomputers and their application to the quantitative analysis of
electrophysiological phenomena, there had been a great expansion of
knowledge about the electrical activity of the brain. This activity
yielded a great variety of information about brain functions.
Neurometrics is a methodology, based on quantitative measurements
of the brain electrical activity, for evaluating anatomical
integrity, developmental maturation, and the mediation of sensory,
perceptual, and cognitive processes. This book focuses on practical
clinical applications and the theoretical and experimental
formulations on which these are based.
Immersing the audience in sound and light Nikita Gale's END OF
SUBJECT subverts understandings of viewership by prompting
spectators to question their subjecthood within 52 Walker's
site-specific installation. Creating an aurally and visually rich
environment, Gale engages with the architecture of the surrounding
space, stimulating all senses through site-specific installation
and muses on the boundaries of performance art. Considering and
fracturing the physical space of the installation, the artist
employs abolitionist ideology and institutional critique to
simultaneously rupture and rebuild facets of the art institution.
With an introduction by Ebony L. Haynes and a suite of poems by
Harmony Holiday, this publication considers Gale's
multidisciplinary approach to address historical hierarchies of
visibility. A text by the esteemed artist Andrea Fraser offers
reflections on the various interventions at play during a gathering
held in the exhibition.
This book provides the first sustained critical engagement with the
legacy of the 9/11 attacks twenty years on. Featuring a wide range
of established and emerging voices in critical terrorism studies,
the book explores the deeply political character of remembering and
forgetting, and the racialised, gendered and other contexts within
which this takes place. A lively and provocative conversation
between feminist, postcolonial, post-structural, literary and
critical perspectives, 9/11 Twenty Years On asks what ‘the day
that changed the world’ means for critical terrorism studies
today, and how we might choose to mark those events in the future.
It will be essential reading for upper-level students, researchers
and academics in the fields of International Relations, Security
Studies and Political Science in general, as well as anyone
interested in critical approaches to terrorism, political violence,
and memory. The chapters in this book were originally published as
a special issue of Critical Studies on Terrorism.

This book examines potential synergies between the fields of
Terrorism Studies and Peace and Conflict Studies. The volume
presents theoretically- and empirically-informed contributions,
which shed light on whether the two fields can inform each other on
issues of mutual interest and importance. The book examines key
themes including the conceptualisation(s) of peace and violence;
the exceptionalisation of terrorist violence; the relationship
between scholarship and political power; the dysfunctionality of
the liberal peace and the opportunities offered by post-liberal
peacebuilding frameworks; and the implications and challenges of
cyber-terrorism and cyber-conflict. Furthermore, the book intends
to be a launching pad for future debate on whether the recent
'critical' turn in terrorism studies can offer a pathway for peace
studies to engage with the so far largely ignored question of
power. Consisting of not only key scholars but also practitioners
and policy makers, the contributors present a number of case
studies, including Colombia, Northern Ireland, the Basque Country,
and Iraq, where they explore the relationships between terrorism
and peace and conflict approaches. They critically analyse the
statist approach inherent in both terrorism approaches and liberal
peacebuilding frameworks; the role of the grassroots levels of
society; the inefficiency of simplistic frameworks of understanding
and implementation; and the chains of governance from international
(and transnational) actors to national actors and finally from
national to local actors. This book will be of much interest to
students of terrorism studies, peace and conflict studies, IR and
security studies.
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.

This book offers a succinct examination of directions of
research in the fields of Terrorism Studies and Peace and Conflict
Studies.
With a particular focus on the interactions, differences and
potential synergies between the two, it consists of theoretically-
and empirically-informed contributions, which will shed light on
whether the two fields can inform each other on issues of mutual
interest and importance, thus strengthening both research and
praxis. As such it does not shy away from the major ontological and
epistemological puzzles common between the two fields, and can be
used as both a reference work and a stimulus for additional
research. The book does not intend to offer a comprehensive review
of Terrorism and Peace and Conflict Studies, but instead focuses on
what its authors consider as the most pressing areas and issues,
thus opening a new debate and mapping a new agenda for synthesised,
cross-pollinated research.
Among the key themes this book examines are questions relating
to: the conceptualisation(s) of peace and violence; the
exceptionalisation of terrorist violence and its effect on the
resolution or perpetuation of the conflict; the ontological and
epistemological status of security; the understandings of
asymmetry; the possibilities, timing and potential of negotiations
between asymmetrical actors; the relationship between
international, national and local actors in their contextual
environments; the relationship between scholarship and political
power; the dysfunctionality of the liberal peace and the
opportunities offered by post-liberal peacebuilding frameworks; and
the implications and challenges of cyber-terrorism and
cyber-conflict. The book will also launch the debate on whether the
recent critical turn in terrorism studies can offer a pathway for
peace studies to engage with the so far largely ignored question of
power. The Case Studies section gathers contributions not only from
key scholars but also practitioners and policy makers, examining
the synergies and contradictions between terrorism and peace and
conflict approaches in Colombia, Sri Lanka, the Basque Country,
Afghanistan, Somalia and Turkey among others. They critically
assess and evaluate: the statist approach inherent in both
terrorism approaches and liberal peacebuilding frameworks; their
problem-solving tendencies; the role of the grassroots levels of
society in the marginalisation of violence; the inefficiency of
simplistic frameworks of understanding and implementation when it
comes to producing self-sustainable peace(s); and the chains of
governance whereby international (and transnational) actors direct
national actors who in turn direct local actors.
This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism
studies, peace and conflict studies, research methods, security
studies and IR.
The late E. Roy John is considered the pioneer in the field of
neurometrics - the science of measuring the underlying organization
of the brain's electrical activity. Volume 1, co-authored by Robert
W. Thatcher, and Volume 2 both originally published in 1977, were
among the first books this field. Volume 3, written by colleague
Thalia Harmony, followed in 1984. The field expanded significantly
in the 1990s and thousands of articles have subsequently been
published. Available together for the first time these 3 volumes
were important foundational works for the fields of quantitative
electrophysiology and neurometrics.

There is a fundamental core within each of us where our true nature
resides. Our learned patterns of relating to ourselves and the
world cause us to get pulled off our center, coming out of
alignment with our True Self. While these conditioned patterns were
at one time useful, continuing to live from them prevents us from
experiencing the ease and beauty of our own true nature. In this
remarkable exploration of the human condition, Harmony Kwiker
provides a clear and comprehensive map to rediscovering how to live
and love from the True Self, including how to come back to
wholeness by accessing your subtle energy body, how to embody your
alignment in all of your relationships and how to explore sexual
intimacy in a sacred way.
