Call for Papers Critical Studies on Terrorism Published by Taylor & Francis starting in 2008 __________________________________________________ Critical Studies on Terrorism is a new international, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal starting in 2008 published by Taylor & Francis. The journal seeks to publish quality research on all aspects of terrorism, counter-terrorism and state terror. In particular, the editors are looking for empirical, theoretical and policy-oriented articles that recognise the inherently problematic nature of the terrorism label, employ a critical-normative perspective broadly defined, and challenge accepted orthodoxy. Research on terrorism employing methodological and disciplinary perspectives positivist and post-positivist normally unfamiliar to political science and international relations is especially encouraged. Critical Studies on Terrorism aims to provide a forum for the publication of original theoretical and empirical research articles, disciplinary debates and assessments, editorial commentary, special issues, research notes, announcements and book reviews. A key aim of the journal is to encourage fruitful intellectual engagement between critical and orthodox accounts of terrorism, and to stimulate debate between security management intellectuals and critically-oriented scholars. Within this broad framework, the journal seeks submissions in the following areas, among others: * The achievements and limitations of terrorism studies as a discipline * Ethical-normative analyses of terrorism and counter-terrorism * State terror and political repression * The causes of terrorism * Critical analyses of the war on terror * The institutionalisation of counter-terrorism * Gender dimensions of terrorism and counter-terrorism * Conflict resolution and pathways out of terrorism * Terrorism, Counter-terrorism and the Global South * Torture, human rights, and coercive counter-terrorism * Media studies of terrorism and counter-terrorism * Identity, culture and representation of terrorism * The anthropology of state and non-state terrorism * Sociological dimensions of terrorism * The psychology of terrorism and counter-terrorism * Comparative history of terrorism and counter-terrorism * Legal analyses of terrorism and counter-terrorism. Articles should be 7-8,000 words in length, including footnotes which should be in the Chicago style. Articles must be original and not under consideration for any other publication. They should be sent electronically in the first instance to Dr Marie Breen Smyth, Co-Editor, [email protected]. Critical Studies on Terrorism will be of interest to practitioners and scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, including: political science, security studies, international relations, sociology, psychology, history, applied philosophy, religious studies, law, criminology, anthropology, communication, media studies, cultural studies, gender studies, conflict resolution, development studies and area studies, among others.
