Reviews

Arguing Counterterrorism is a superb collection of articles giving sustained, cutting edge and critical assessment of contemporary counterterrorism policy and practice. Theoretically innovative, empirically rich, and normatively challenging, this landmark volume assesses the current state of knowledge, fills a number of important gaps, and points the way towards new perspectives and understandings, all in clear, accessible language. It exemplifies the growing sophistication and maturity of the critical discourse analytic literature that emerged following the launch of the global war on terror, and deserves the widest possible audience. --Richard Jackson, University of Otago, New Zealand
