Reviews

'Australia's 'war on terror' Discourse is the first systematic study of Australia's involvement in the global war on terror. Theoretically sophisticated, empirically insightful and eloquently argued, it examines how the war on terror discourse spread to Australia and its consequences for Australian foreign and domestic politics. For anyone wanting to understand how the war on terror functions internationally or the present state of Australian politics, this book is a must-read and a welcome addition.'Richard Jackson, University of Otago, New Zealand'This excellent book stands out as the fullest critical analysis of Australian foreign policy discourse in the War on Terror. Developing a specific variant of Critical Discourse Analysis and weaving together the ideas of range of critical scholars, Gleeson delivers a sustained deconstruction of John Howard's foreign policy. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of foreign policy and the War on Terror in Australia and beyond.'Jack Holland, University of Surrey, UK'Gleeson offers an incisive account of the construction of Australia's post-9/11 War on Terror discourse. Her analysis of its architects and architecture provides the first detailed history of this unprecedented era in Australia's security policy. In doing so, she also provides a compelling case for the centrality of discourse analysis in global security studies.'Katrina Lee-Koo, Australian National University, Australia'This theoretically sophisticated book does not only provide the best in-depth analysis of how the war on terror discourse was constructed in Australia. Its innovative combination of Foucauldian genealogical analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis also forges a powerful methodological tool that can provide major insights into how that discourse was constructed internationally. 'Carol Johnson, The University of Adelaide, Australia
