Produktinformationen zu „Counterterrorism Compared “
The attacks of 11 September 2001 represented a new terrorist trend which
targets liberal Western states. The United States and Germany both
interpreted September 11 as a declaration of war and an imminent security
threat. However, the two states adopted different counterterrorism concepts
in response to the attacks: The U.S. endorsed a "war" against terrorism,
whereas Germany delineated a "fight" against terrorism. Why do some
policy-makers understand terrorism as a war and others as a crime - while
facing the same terrorist threat? In this publication the author Vera Hanus
examines why the U.S. and Germany recur to diverging counterterrorism
strategies after September 11. The analysis first traces the difference to the
rhetorical "frames" and the subsequent "policy frameworks". Secondly, three
theories of International Relations - Neorealism, Utilitarian Liberalism and
Social Constructivist Institutionalism - serve as complex and thorough
explanatory framework.
This case study of transatlantic counterterrorism addresses the academic
community, policy-makers, journalists and all those interested in International
Relations and the study of terrorism and counterterrorism policy.
