Rezensionen

'One of the central questions that emerges for a "critical" field is whether it can survive its initial phase of critique. In this case, can CTS remain relevant more than twenty years after 9/11? This brilliant edited volume shows us that CTS continues to offer salient and necessary critique but crucially also original conceptualisations and methodologies that can help us read the terrorism and broader security frameworks governing us today and in the future. It gathers a broad range of scholars to address key questions such as: Can revolutionary non-violence be the basis for future responses to terrorism? How can we indigenise CTS for it to push past its current Eurocentric dispositions in research and teaching? What has CTS been silent about? Crucially, how can knowledge be explored and transmitted differently? This volume offers essential reading for all those students and scholars - those self-identifying as critical and their skeptics - researching how terrorism and security continue to mark our political landscapes.'

Harmonie Toros, University of Kent, UK

'This is a significant and pertinent edited collection that is at the cutting edge of critical analysis in relation to concerns about terrorism, radicalisation, and counter-extremism in the contemporary era, making it a refreshing and comprehensive contribution to local and global perspectives on critical terrorism studies. This is a welcome addition to the current body of knowledge in this field.'

Tahir Abbas, Professor of Radicalisation Studies, Leiden University, Netherlands

;Bringing together established and emerging voices in Critical Terrorism Studies, this book shines a much-needed light on new pathways to understanding the field itself and the possibilities of analysis that it offers. Impressive in both breadth and depth, each chapter encourages us to continue to push theoretical and methodological boundaries, addressing under-explored topics and imagining new ways to revitalise research programmes. As both a serious reflection on the field's gaps and a call to action to realise its potential, Contemporary Reflections on Critical Terrorism Studies is a remarkable achievement.'
