Counterterrorism in a global perspective

The global war on terror following the 9/11 terror attacks led to a proliferation of counterterrorism laws and state policies across the world. Counter-terrorism policies are manifested in regimes of investigation, interrogation, detention, and surveillance on a global scale and everyday public life across these sites. Counterterrorism has thus become both a global, national, and local phenomenon. With the upsurge of right-wing populist ideologies in the global South, counterterrorism policies have become all-pervasive in public life.
This virtual one-day workshop aims to bring together scholars studying counterterrorism in the global North and the global South to explore convergence and divergence in how counterterrorism policies function in a range of national and local contexts.
This project is funded by the Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA), Leiden University and the Centre of Expertise on Global Governance, The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS)
