This book provides the first articulation of a specifically critical model of counterterrorism, with an empirical focus on the case of Norway.

Recenzje

'Motivated by the shortcomings of dominant approaches to counterterrorism, epitomized by the so-called Global War on Terror, Sondre Lindahl offers a fascinating, alternative model of counterterrorism. ...Overall, this book is a welcome contribution to the literature on counterterrorism and a stepping stone for future analyses of nonviolent strategies to combat and prevent terrorism.'--Sara M. T. Polo, Journal of Peace Research
