Terrorism and the Politics of Fear

Beschreibung

This text explains how the social construction of fear is used to steer public and foreign policy, arguing that security policies to protect the citizenry have become control systems that curtail privacy and civil liberties. It has been updated with analysis of recent events, ranging from Israeli-Hamas wars to the growing impact of social media.
