Cultures of Counterterrorism French and Italian Responses to Terrorism after 9/11

This book investigates counterterrorism responses from a strategic-culturalist perspective focusing on France and Italy in the post-9/11 era. Terrorism occupies a predominant space within contemporary political debate across all European countries.

This work provides an original contribution to the understanding of counterterrorism by asking how values norms and a shared sense of identity matter in policy dynamics. It explores and assesses which cultural elements are relevant for the fight against terrorism and investigates the impact which these elements can have on practical approaches to terrorism. Despite the current attention to terrorist attacks in Europe the cases of France and Italy in counterterrorism affairs are particularly overlooked by the existing literature; this book analyses questions and examines the strategy of these two countries through the instruments offered by the culturalist approaches to strategy. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism studies discourse analysis European politics security studies and international relations in general. | Cultures of Counterterrorism French and Italian Responses to Terrorism after 9/11

Trauma and Fictions of the War on Terror Disrupting Memory

Trauma and Fictions of the War on Terror Disrupting Memory

This book explores the ways in which transnational fiction in the post-9/11 era can intervene in discourse surrounding the war on terror to advocate for marginalised perspectives. Trauma and Fictions of the War on Terror conceptualises global political discourse about the war on terror as incongruous with transnational memory frames instituted in Western nations centralising 9/11 as uniquely traumatic excluding the historical and present-day experiences of Afghans under Western—specifically American—hegemonic violence. Recent developments in trauma studies explain how dominant Western trauma theory participates in this exclusion failing to account for the ongoing suffering common to non-Western colonial and postcolonial contexts. O’Brien explores how Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner) Nadeem Aslam (The Wasted Vigil The Blind Man’s Garden) and Kamila Shamsie (Burnt Shadows) represent marginalised perspectives in the context of the war on terror. | Trauma and Fictions of the War on Terror Disrupting Memory
