Constructions of Terrorism

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Research and Policy

254 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Discussions about the meaning of terrorism are enduring in everyday language, government policy, news reporting, and international politics. And disagreements about both the definition and the class of violent events that constitute terrorism contribute to the difficulty of formulating effective responses aimed at the prevention and management of the threat of terrorism and the development of counterterrorism policies. Constructions of Terrorism collects works from the leading scholars on terrorism from an array of disciplines--including communication, political science, sociology, global studies, and public policy--to establish appropriate research frameworks for understanding how we construct our understanding of terrorism.
