The book sustainedly assesses the interaction of terrorism and counter-terrorism through drawing on a range of academic disciplines in dialogue with one another. It addresses the dynamics of counter-terrorism more interrogatively and concentratedly than is common in much of the scholarly literature, and it highlights a theme that is all too rarely considered in the field: namely, the shared and mutually-echoing failings and illusions involved in the politics of terrorism and counter-terrorism alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters analyse post-9\/11 counter-terrorism, the ongoing evolution of al-Qaida, the imperatives and challenges and global context of western counter-terrorist efforts, and the reasons why terrorist campaigns sometimes endure and sometimes come to an end. Candid and wide-ranging, \u003cem\u003e Illusions of Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism\u003c\/em\u003e offers rigorous and original argument on a subject of the highest significance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46482829836439,"sku":"9780197265901","price":5748.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780197265901.jpg?v=1766317572","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/illusions-of-terrorism-and-counter-terrorism-9780197265901","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
