It delves into the progression of the Council's fight against international terrorism, examining the development of practices aimed at preventing radicalization and extremism. Furthermore, it assesses the impact of these processes on global counter-terrorism efforts and the profound influence they have had on shaping the international landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book takes a discerning look at the discursive construction of a global threat and traces how this construction evolved in conjunction with the Council's establishment of legal frameworks and bodies. It argues that the Council's definition of international terrorism, specifically articulated in the 2000s, is profoundly shaped by global hegemonies, power relations within the international community, and the Council's own identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo demonstrate this, the book offers a long genealogical perspective of the United Nations since the 1930s, providing a foundation for understanding the historical context in which the Security Council's actions against terrorism have taken place. Subsequently, it focuses on the significant developments that occurred in the 2000s, highlighting the Council's efforts to combat international terrorism as a global, interconnected, and increasingly globalizing enterprise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is of immense interest to students of critical terrorism studies, security studies, global governance, and International Relations. It offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of counter-terrorism efforts, the role of international organizations in shaping global policy, and the challenges and opportunities associated with combating terrorism in a rapidly changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 410g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367564254\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AliceMartini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44105079161082,"sku":"9780367564254","price":43.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_8f2f37d3-94d6-419e-b0e4-48d2e5dbd23c.jpg?v=1662650617","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-un-and-counterterrorism-global-hegemonies-power-and-identities-9780367564254","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
