Description
This panel discusses approaches to terrorism and counter-terrorism in the global south, looking particularly at the cases of the coastal region of Kenya, Nigeria and Brazil. The latter case reflects particularly on how counter-terrorism legislation can feed into and legitimate state violence. It also looks at the portrayal of women who joined terrorist organisations (particularly ISIS), which perpetuates narratives drawn from Orientalist and Islamophobic practices.
In this panel, we can find papers drawing on constructivist and poststructuralist scholarship and covering organisations such as the Mombasa Republican Council, Al-Shabaab, Al Muhajiroun, ISIS, Boko Haram.
