Pre-crime and terrorism prevention without a P/CVE strategy
In the Italian context, jihadist radicalisation is considered among the foremost security threats, although no lethal terrorist attack in the name of Islam has occurred. Scholars and practitioners describe this situation as exceptional. Building on this literature, this paper examines another Italian exception: the absence of a comprehensive strategy to Prevent and Counter Violent Extremism. It argues that the reliance on preventive and pre-crimi…
Conspiracy theory as counter-securitization
There is an emerging consensus that conspiracy theories are dangerous. They can fuel extremism, undermine democratic institutions, and be mobilized in the disinformation operations of adversary states. That framing fits comfortably within well-understood practices of elite securitization, which have recently framed conspiracy theories as a threat to national security. This article explores the securitization of conspiracy theory during the COVID-…
Islamo-leftism’ or the mainstreaming of conspiracy theories and Islamophobia in French politics
One way in which Islamophobia and conspiracy theories meet is in the use of the compound word‘Islamo-leftism’ to indicate the alleged ideological and electoral proximity between two broadly defined categories: Muslims and the left. Building on research showing that Islamo-leftism is based on conspiratorial thinking, this paper contributes to ongoing debates on Islamophobia and conspiracy theories by unpacking which elements of conspiracy theories…
Translation
Securitization of Islam cannot be fully comprehended without looking at party ideologies. While it is acknowledged that Muslims in the West have been securitized, little attention has been paid to the language and ideas through which securitization manifests across and inside political parties, especially on the Left. This aspect needs further research. After the jihadist terrorist attacks of the mid-2010s, many European centre-left politicians h…
A populist desecuritisation? Mélenchon, left-wing populism, and the fight against Islamophobia in France
While there is literature on ‘populist securitisation’ and on the ‘securitisation of Islam’, the possibility that some populists may desecuritise Islam is not sufficiently explored. Left-wing populist parties have demonstrated solidarity towards Muslim minorities in Europe through a discourse based on inclusionary rhetoric and deconstruction of the securitising narratives promoted by mainstream and populist right-wing parties. However, their atti…
Methodologies in Critical Terrorism Studies
This interdisciplinary book presents an intervention into methodological practices in the subfield of Critical Terrorism Studies, and features established and early career scholars. The volume interrogates the role that research methods play in shaping the sub-discipline of Critical Terrorism Studies (CTS). It responds to two major methodological gaps within CTS: (1) the dearth of Global South cases and voices, and decolonial and feminist approac…
