Powers to outlaw or proscribe terrorist organisations have become
cornerstones of global counter-terrorism regimes. In this
comprehensive volume, an international group of leading scholars
reflect on the array of proscription regimes found around the
world, using a range of methodological, theoretical and
disciplinary perspectives from Political Science, International
Relations, Law, Sociology and Criminology. These perspectives
consider how domestic political and legal institutions intersect
with and transform the use of proscription in countering terrorism
and beyond. The chapters advance a range of critical perspectives
on proscription laws, processes and outcomes, drawing from a global
range of cases including Australia, Canada, the EU, Spain, Sri
Lanka, Turkey, the UK and the USA. Using single and comparative
cases, the authors emphasise the impacts of proscription on
freedoms of speech and association, dissent, political action and
reconciliation. The chapters demonstrate the manifold consequences
for diasporas and minorities, especially those communities linked
to struggles overseas against oppressive regimes, and stress the
significance of language and other symbolic practices in the
justification and extension of proscription powers. The volume
concludes with an in-depth interview on the blacklisting of terror
groups with the former U.S. Director of National Intelligence,
James Clapper. This book was originally published as a special
issue of the journal Terrorism and Political Violence.

This book investigates the increasing circulation and transfer of
public policy ideas between the UK, US and Australia since the
1990s. It argues that the upsurge in policy transfer amongst and
between these states can be explained by a structural and shared
commitment between these states to a distinctive institutional
ideology of policy-making. This ideology, it is claimed, is partly
a product of the historical proximity of 'Anglosphere' states, and
in recent years can be traced through the evolution of New Public
Management principles through to Third Way communitarianism.

This handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of the contemporary
theory, practice and themes in the study of national security. Part
1: Theories examines how national security has been conceptualised
and formulated within the disciplines international relations,
security studies and public policy. Part 2: Actors shifts the focus
of the volume from these disciplinary concerns to consideration of
how core actors in international affairs have conceptualised and
practiced national security over time. Part 3: Issues then provides
in-depth analysis of how individual security issues have been
incorporated into prevailing scholarly and policy paradigms on
national security. While security now seems an all-encompassing
phenomenon, one general proposition still holds: national interests
and the nation-state remain central to unlocking security puzzles.
As normative values intersect with raw power; as new threats meet
old ones; and as new actors challenge established elites, making
sense out of the complex milieu of security theories, actors, and
issues is a crucial task - and is the main accomplishment of this
book.

Banning them, securing us? explores the proscribing - or banning -
of terrorist organisations within the United Kingdom across a
period of twenty years. The process of banning specific
organisations, Jarvis and Legrand argue, is as much a ritualistic
performance of liberal democracy as it is a technique for
increasing national security from the threat posed by terrorism.
Characterised by a repetitive script, an established cast of
characters and a predictable outcome, this ritual provides an
important contribution to the construction of Britain as a liberal,
democratic, moderate space. It does so, paradoxically, through
extending the reach of a power that has limited political or
judicial oversight and considerable implications for rights,
freedoms and political participation. Offering a discursive
analysis of all British Parliamentary debates on the banning of
terrorist organisations since the introduction of Britain's current
proscription regime in 2000, this book provides the first sustained
treatment of this counter-terrorism power in the United Kingdom and
beyond. -- .
