Countering Terrorism in Britain and France

Author: Frank Foley

isbn: 9781107484153
price: 19.99 GBP
publisher: Cambridge University Press
Though Britain and France have faced a similar threat from Islamist terrorism in the years
following September 11 2001, they have often responded in different ways to the challenges it
posed. This groundbreaking work offers the first in-depth comparative analysis of counterterrorist
policies and operations in these two leading liberal democracies. Challenging the widely held view
that the nature of a state's counterterrorist policies depends on the threat it is facing, Foley
suggests that such an argument fails to explain why France has mounted more invasive police
and intelligence operations against Islamist terrorism than Britain and created a more draconian
anti-terrorist legal regime. Drawing on institutional and constructivist theories, he develops a novel
theoretical framework that puts counterterrorism in its organisational, institutional and broader
societal context. With particular appeal to students and specialists of International Relations and
Security Studies, this book will engage readers in the central debates surrounding anti-terrorist
policy. Read more
Conflict, Violence, Terrorism, and their Prevention
Editor(s): J. Martin Ramirez, Chas Morrison, Arthur J. Kendall
ISBN: 1-4438-5347-X
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars
Price: 44.99 GBP
Conflict, Violence, Terrorism and their Prevention provides an inter-disciplinary and global
perspective on aspects of aggression and violence. It explores the individual, group, and
international processes and conditions by which violent conflict occurs. It shows the wide range
and diffuse nature of contemporary violence and the need to approach it from many disciplines.
The book also examines some multi-faceted solutions and responses to conflict. The optimistic
conclusion from this work is that there are concrete and specific ways to address conflict and
violence. Violence is neither inevitable nor innately determined. These 13 well-researched
chapters use a variety of empirical and theoretical approaches drawn from psychology, political
science, and anthropology. Its topics include terrorism, education, peace studies, and conflict
resolution. Experts from eight countries share their findings and offer a comprehensive overview
of violence and responses to it. The book builds on current thinking regarding causal factors, such
as inequality, exclusion, lack of opportunity, or grievance. It broadens the conceptualization of the
phenomena and links it with tangible measures that reduce conflict and promote peace. This book
is an important source for researchers and students of conflict, violence..Read more

Countering Radicalisation and Violent Extremism Among Youth to
Prevent Terrorism
Editors: Lombardi, M., Ragab, E., Chin, V., Dandurand, Y., de Divitiis, V. , Burato, A.
Pub. date: December 2014 Pages: 248 Binding: softcover ISBN print: 978-1-61499469-5 Volume: 118 of NATO Science for Peace and Security Series - E: Human and
Societal Dynamics Publisher: IOS Press
Although violent extremism is not a new phenomenon, it is increasingly recognized as a major
challenge of our times. The recruitment of foreign fighters by extremist organizations, and its
potential impact on public safety in the countries from which they come, is also emerging as a
complex issue at the forefront of international preoccupations.
This book presents the proceedings of the three day NATO Advanced Research Workshop,
"Countering Violent Extremism Among Youth to Prevent Terrorism", held in Milan, Italy, in June
2014.
The best way to respond to violent extremism in general, and the radicalization of disaffected
youth in particular, is far from clear, but the stakes are so high and the potential threat to countries
worldwide so great that inaction is not an option. The goal of the workshop was to enhance the
capacity of policymakers and practitioners to design strategies that will achieve verifiable humanrights based outcomes to counter violent extremism. Read more

format: Paperback
isbn: 9781107601727
price: 50.00 GBP
publisher: Cambridge University Press
Helen Duffy's analysis of international law and practice in relation to terrorism and counterterrorism provides a framework for analysing the lawfulness of the many legislative, policy and
judicial developments which have proliferated since 9/11. Among the many specific issues she
addresses are targeted killings and the death of Osama bin Laden, detentions (including
Guantanamo Bay), sanctions regimes, surveillance, extraordinary renditions, the prohibition on
'association' or 'support' for terrorism and the evolving preventive role of criminal law. She also
considers the unfolding responses to political and judicial wrongs committed in the war on terror,
such as the impact of the courts on human rights protection. While exploring areas of controversy,
uncertainty and flux, she questions post-9/11 allegations of gaping holes, inadequacies or
transformation in the international legal order and concludes by highlighting characteristics of the
'war on terror' and questioning its longer term implications. Read more

Whither Southeast Asia Terrorism?

Publisher: World Scientific
More than 11 years after the 9/11 attacks and 10 years after the October 2002 Bali bombings, the
need for a comprehensive assessment of what the countries in Southeast Asia have achieved is
overdue. We need to consider whether the strategies against both the domestic and transnational
terrorist and extremist threat have been appropriate and have yielded desired results. The aim of
this book is to make a comprehensive assessment of the threats of terrorism and extremism in
the region and of the policies and practices adopted by the regional countries to counter the
same. It is also necessary to evaluate if the region has become a safer place after the decadelong fight. Most importantly, it is time to ask if we need a rethink or develop a new strategy to
contain and manage the threats of terrorism and extremism. Read more

Nuclear Terrorism and Global Security
The Challenge of Phasing out Highly Enriched Uranium
Edited by Alan J. Kuperman
Routledge – 256 pages
Series: Routledge Global Security Studies
Paperback: £30.00
978-1-13-884762-0
30th October 2014
This book examines the prospects and challenges of a global phase-out of highly enriched
uranium—and the risks of this material otherwise being used by terrorists to make atom bombs.
Terrorist groups, such as Al Qaeda, have demonstrated repeatedly that they seek to acquire
nuclear weapons. Unbeknownst even to many security specialists, tons of bomb-grade uranium
are trafficked legally each year for ostensibly peaceful purposes. If terrorists obtained even a tiny
fraction of this bomb-grade uranium they could potentially construct a nuclear weapon like the one
dropped on Hiroshima that killed tens of thousands. Read more

Al Qaeda’s Global Crisis
The Islamic State, Takfir and the Genocide of Muslims
By V. G. Julie Rajan
Routledge – 2015 – 354 pages
Series: Contemporary Terrorism Studies
Hardback: £85.00
978-1-13-878997-5
4th February 2015
The book argues that these crises are directly related to Al Qaeda’s affiliation with the extreme
violence employed against Muslims in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan in the decade since
9/11. Al Qaeda’s public and private responses to this violence differ greatly. While in public Al
Qaeda has justified those attacks declaring that, for the establishment of a state of ‘true
believers’, they are a necessary evil, in private Al Qaeda has been advising its local affiliates to
refrain from killing Muslims. To better understand the crises facing Al Qaeda, the book explores
the development of Central Al Qaeda’s complex relationship with radical (mis)appropriations and
manifestations of takfir, which allows one Muslim to declare another an unbeliever, and its unique
relationship with each of its affiliates in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The author then
goes on to consider how the prominence of takfir is contributing to the deteriorating security in
those countries and how this is affecting Al Qaeda’s credibility as an Islamist terror organization.
The book concludes by considering the long-term viability of Al Qaeda and how its demise could
allow the rise of the even more radical, violent Islamic State and the implications this has for the
future security of the Middle East, North Africa and Central/South Asia. Read more

The Ethics of Insurgency
A Critical Guide to Just Guerrilla Warfare

publisher: Cambridge University Press
As insurgencies rage, a burning question remains: how should insurgents fight technologically
superior state armies? Commentators rarely ask this question because the catchphrase 'we fight
by the rules, but they don't' is nearly axiomatic. But truly, are all forms of guerrilla warfare equally
reprehensible? Can we think cogently about just guerrilla warfare? May guerrilla tactics such as
laying improvised explosive devices (IEDs), assassinating informers, using human shields,
seizing prisoners of war, conducting cyber strikes against civilians, manipulating the media,
looting resources, or using nonviolence to provoke violence prove acceptable under the changing
norms of contemporary warfare? The short answer is 'yes', but modern guerrilla warfare requires
a great deal of qualification, explanation, and argumentation before it joins the repertoire of
acceptable military behavior. Not all insurgents fight justly, but guerrilla tactics and strategies are
also not always the heinous practices that state powers often portray them to be.Read more
