Inhaltsangabe

This book provides a detailed application of identity theory to contemporary questions of extremism, radicalization and security. The analysis considers how identity forms a central aspect of notions of extremism and security in Western societies, as articulated both by political leaders, the media and the government. It also takes a close and critical look at counter-extremism policy in contemporary Western society. With its detailed and empirical approach to these questions, this book is an accessible and invaluable resource for academics, practitioners, policy-makers and general readers keen to establish a deeper understanding of the key societal security threats of the day.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book considers the application of Identity Theory to contemporary debates on extremism, radicalization and security. Britain is taken as the focus of research, within which a unique comparative study is undertaken of identity politics and narratives across a spectrum of minority and majority-community perspectives. Debates concerning Islamophobia, Far Right extremism and state counter-extremism and counter-terrorism policy are subjected to critical scrutiny. This book will appeal to scholars and interested observers alike of contemporary politics and security in the West, and the critical role played by identity within that picture.
