One consequence of the U.S. declaration of the war on terror after the September 11th attacks was the rapid globalization of counter-terrorism policy. Almost overnight, counterterrorism, long considered a residual law enforcement issue for many states, became a top national priority and the focal point of intense diplomatic pressure from the United States and its allies. This edited collection surveys how non-Western states have adapted to the threats of domestic and international terrorism since that point. It presents a series of eighteen case studies of counterterrorism theory and practice across the non-Western world, with a broad range of countries including China, Japan, Russia, India, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia and and Brazil. These case studies, written by leading country experts and drawing on original language sources, show that non-Western societies have conceptualized, recast and responded to the threat of terrorism in unique ways. For each case study, it explores a number of drivers - historical, political, cultural and religious - that determine how that country 'sees' terrorism and develops its policy response. Together, these case studies challenge the unspoken assumption that the Western theory and practice of counter-terrorism is universal and instead shows how non-Western responses to terrorism have been mediated by under-explored case-specific factors. This volume - the first ever comprehensive study of counter-terrorism policies across the non-Western world - will be of interest to students, scholars, students and policymakers responsible for developing counter-terrorism policy.
