“…For example, in the context of local attacks by ethno-nationalist domestic terrorists in India, the West can be falsely construed as targets from their attacks. Reports of these attacks will focus on the symbolic nature of the attacks (luxury hotels-Western culture) and the foreign nationals killed even though the number of non-westerns killed vastly out-numbers the Western victims (Barnard-Wills and Moore, 2010). Thus, non-state domestic terrorism can sometimes be mispresented, to fit into a wider global narrative and related security agenda.…”

Purpose The paper aims to understand how state and non-state domestic terrorism impacts MNEs in foreign markets. Despite the burgeoning literature on terrorism within international business (IB), most research has focused on international terrorism, or terrorism generally. Consequently, there has been limited research examining how domestic or local based terrorism impacts foreign firms. Design/methodology/approach This is a conceptual paper. Findings Domestic terrorism is the most common form of terrorism in the world today and involves the state and non-state actors. Non-state domestic terrorism can be low intensity or high intensity. High intensity non-state-domestic terrorism typically involves regular and protracted political violence, along with inter-communal violence. This can expose MNEs to considerable operational, governance and legitimacy pressures. Originality/value The paper contributes to the gap in IB terrorism research with regards domestic or local based terrorism. Drawing on IB theory and critical terrorism research, the paper addresses the nature and impact of domestic terrorism within IB. The authors’ paper shows the operational, governance and legitimacy pressures of both state and non-state domestic terrorism for MNEs in host markets. While most IB scholars consider the threat of non-state terrorism for international firms, this study shows how domestic state terrorism benefits and constrains foreign firms.

“…In particular, the attacks were understood to reflect the Indian state's abdication of the responsibility to provide 'security' . Second, 26/11 was followed by immediate calls for a major institutional overhaul of the governmental architecture for handling terrorism through the adoption of 'hard' , 'modern' approaches to security and policing (see Barnard-Wills and Moore 2010).…”

Militarising Mumbai? The ‘Politics’ of Response.

This article focuses on how urban security has been governed in Mumbai in the aftermath of the 2008 terrorist attacks (26/11). The event was widely cited as a major turning point in the securitisation and militarisation of Indian cities. It also produced significant political upheaval, which in turn generated calls for a major institutional overhaul of the governmental architecture for handling terrorism. This article takes the political and policy repercussions of 26/11 as an intervention into critical debates about the (para-)militarisation of policing and the politics of urban security. Here I shift the focus from the disciplinary and divisive effects of policies towards an emphasis on their spectacular and theatrical dimensions. If we are to make sense of the ‘militarised’ focus of the policy response to 26/11, I argue, we need to take seriously its populist, aspirational qualities.
