Terrorism and Policy Relevance

This book explores the interrelationship between terrorism and policy relevance from a range of critical perspectives. In particular, it questions the politics of policy relevance, that is, it interrogates how epistemological and practical pressures to produce policy-relevant research shapes prevalent understandings of (counter)terrorism, and vice versa.

It also reflects on Critical Terrorism Studies (CTS) relationship to policy relevance. Should CTS eschew engagement with policy relevance and maintain a position outside the orthodoxy, or are CTS scholars uniquely positioned to offer meaningful alternatives to contemporary counterterrorism practices? Read thus, the question of policy relevance is central to CTS identity and represents an essential juncture as to how associated scholarship might develop into the future.

Through the prism of policy relevance, this edited book examines a myriad of issues, including the popular silencing of terrorist victims voices; the closure of space for social workers to tackle radicalisation, the institutional pressures on policy practitioners tasked with preventing radicalisation, and how policy relevance informs contemporary practices of mass surveillance.

By reflecting on one of the most essential components of (counter)terrorism, this book forms a critical interjection that will continue to shape the agenda not only on policy relevance, but on the discipline of CTS itself. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Studies on Terrorism.

James Fitzgerald is a Lecturer in Terrorism Studies at the School of Law and Government, Dublin City University, Ireland, and is also co-convenor of the BISA Critical Studies on Terrorism Working Group. His current research interests include everyday resistances to (counter)terrorism, the political ontology of terrorism, and exploring (in)orthodoxies of academic writing and the types of knowledge produced thereof.

Nadya Ali is a Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Sussex, UK. She is currently a co-convenor of the BISA Critical Studies on Terrorism Working Group. Nadya has published on topics including the female jihad, counter-radicalisation in the United Kingdom, and UK mosque reforms in the last decade.

Megan Armstrong is co-convenor of the BISA Critical Studies on Terrorism Working Group. Her main research interests focus on the role of the sexualised body in violent identity politics.
