Comparing American perceptions of post-Civil War Ku Klux Klan and transnational violence
Recently, public debates have questioned whether or not the American government responds differently to terrorism by white, right-wing, Americans. This article examines a historical period in which similar dynamics were on display in state responses to the Reconstruction-era Ku Klux Klan (KKK), Irish-American Fenians, and anarchists from 1860 to 1920. This history suggests that political officials responded to these groups more on the basis of id…
The Strategy of Exclusion in American Counterterrorism
While garnering heightened attention following the Trump administration's travel restrictions, exclusionary tactics in counterterrorism have a much lengthier history.

Interstitial rules and the contested application of human rights law and the laws of war in counterterrorism
The laws of war and international human rights law (IHRL) overlap, often with competing obligations. When two or more areas of the law overlap, political agents attempt to address these areas of ambiguity with interstitial rules. However, a lack of consensus on interstitial rules can destabilise the law, leading to increased contestation of legal norms and principles. Such is the case for international law in counterterrorism. Prior to the 11 Sep…

If the post-cold war security environment is associated with the introduction of 'distinctively ethical language' into debates concerning states' international obligations,1 the post-9/11 world is the introduction of a high degree of complexity and uncertainty into those debates. The adoption of the post-9/11 label carries with it an assumption of change, and the balance between military necessity and legal and normative accountability is one are…
