Terror Terrorism States & Societies

This volume contains essays by international scholars across different disciplines and engages with several aspects of terror: as historical event; as a generalized discourse of ideology; as a feature in the continuum of violence; as 'extreme violence' and as the final marker of identity-ascribed undertaken or imposed. Also discusses the historical and divisive relations between democracy and terror liberalism and the rule of law the 'war on terror' and the need for legitimacy; and a philosophical engagement with terror.
