Journal Details
Critical Studies on Terrorism
Aims & Scope
Critical Studies on Terrorism is an international, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal. The journal seeks to publish quality research on all aspects of terrorism, counter-terrorism and state terror.
A key aim of the journal is to both create space for robust, innovative research on terrorism, and to encourage fruitful intellectual engagement between critical and orthodox accounts of terrorism. In particular, the editors are looking for empirical, theoretical and policy-oriented articles that recognise the inherently problematic nature of the terrorism label, employ a critical-normative perspective broadly defined, and challenge accepted orthodoxies. Research on terrorism employing methodological and disciplinary perspectives from outside the poltical science and international relations paradigms is especially encouraged.
Within this broad framework, the journal seeks submissions in some of the following areas:
- The achievements and limitations of terrorism studies as a discipline
- Preconditions and facilitating factors of terrorism
- Sociological, anthropological, psychological analyses of political terror
- Comparative history of (counter) - terrorism
- State terror and political repression
- The institutionalisation of counter-terrorism
- Torture, human rights/civil liberties and coercive counter-terrorism
- Ethical-normative analyses of (counter) - terrorism
- Gender dimensions of political terror
- The politics of naming/power-knowledge dimensions of 'terrorism'
- Identity, culture and representation of 'terrorism'
- The political communication of (counter) - terrorism
- Media studies of (counter) - terrorism
- Pathways out of political terror (non-state or state)
- Conflict resolution and counter-terrorism
- Perspectives from the Global South on (counter) - terrorism
Critical Studies on Terrorism will provide a forum for the publication of original theoretical and empirical research articles, disciplinary debates and assessments, editorial commentary, special issues, research notes, announcements and book reviews.
