Contemporary debates on
Terrorism
Edited by Richard Jackson, Aberystwyth University,
UK and Samuel J. Sinclair, Harvard Medical School,
USA
Debating Terrorism is an innovative new textbook,
addressing a number of key issues in contemporary
terrorism studies from both ’traditional’ and ’critical’
perspectives.
In recent years, the terrorism studies field has grown in
quantity and quality, with a growing number of scholars
rooted in various professional disciplines beginning to
debate the complex dynamics underlying this category
of violence. Within the broader field, there are a number
of identifiable controversies and questions which divide
scholarly opinion and generate opposing arguments.
This volume aims to bring together in one place many of
the field’s leading scholars to debate the key issues
relating to a set of 12 important controversies and
questions. The volume involves a leading scholar taking
a particular position on the controversy, followed by an
opposing or alternative viewpoint written by another
scholar. In addition to the pedagogic value of allowing
students to read opposing arguments in one place, the
volume will also be important for providing an overview
of the state of the field and its key lines of debate.

3rd edition
Terrorism Versus democracy
The Liberal State Response
Paul Wilkinson, University of St. Andrews, UK
Series: Political Violence
’Paul Wilkinson has been
saying challenging things
about terrorism and the
liberal state for over thirty
years. In the era of the
so-called ’war on terror’ his
perspective on the subject is
more important than ever.
This book deserves to be
widely read: its message on
the need for respect for
human rights is a vital one in
these security-oriented
days.’ - Conor Gearty, London School of Economics, UK
This book examines the terrorist networks that operate
globally and analyses the long-term future of terrorism
and terrorist-backed insurgencies.
This new edition gives more attention to the political
and strategic impact of modern transnational terrorism,
the need for maximum international cooperation by
law-abiding states to counter not only direct threats to
the safety and security of their own citizens but also to
preserve international peace and security through
strengthening counter-proliferation and cooperative
threat reduction (CTR).
This book is essential reading for undergraduate and
postgraduate students of terrorism studies, political
science and international relations, as well as for policy
makers and journalists.
