U.S.-Drones Strikes: Acts of Terror, Violence, or Coercion?

Terrorism Studies beyond counter-counterterrorism: opening the door to Jenseits

“…Writers like Koch (2016), and Poynting and Whyte (2013) begin from these foundations and document US contraventions of international law in its hybrid counterterror-cum-war-on-drugs campaigns in Central America and its counterterror operations in the MENA region (see also Blakeley 2006;Menjívar and Rodríguez 2005;Rashed 2016;Rothe and Friedrichs 2006). Other writers have turned their case study focus further afield: Cameron's work (2012) denounces the calculated British state inaction which facilitated the 1994 Rwandan genocide (see also Balint 2012); Moody (2016) and Smith Finley (2019) investigate potential instances of state terror in the People's Republic of China; and Cadwallader (2013) and Punch (2012) uncover British war crimes and collusion with paramilitary death squads during the Troubles in Northern Ireland; and Miller and Mills (2009) take a slightly different CTS approach when they document the funding links between state defence departments and leading Counterterrorism researchers.…”
