The efforts by Mali to counter terrorism, however, have been inadequate. The lack of institutional capacity and the lack of a workable counterterrorism policy characterised by bad governance are identified as key inadequacies in the fight against terrorism in Mali. In view of these inadequacies, the article demonstrates the need for a continental approach to fight the threat of terrorism in Mali. But for the African Union (AU) to be effective in resolving the Malian impasse, its diplomatic, political, and military approaches have been discussed and critiqued. The article suggests the need to retool the security architecture of the AU – the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) – and particularly, to ensure the full operationalisation of the Common African Defence and Security Policy (CADSP) and the African Standby Force (ASF). Importantly, the AU must also have a counterterrorism fund dedicated to support the fight against terrorism in Mali and Africa as a whole.","PeriodicalId":46483,"journal":{"name":"Critical Studies on Terrorism","volume":"140 3 1","pages":"523 - 536"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90010712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It recounts her individual story in Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban and the work Western programs of “economic empowerment” and humanitarian agencies of “social emancipation” have done to “reconstruct” the war-torn nation. This involvement in the raw, however, does not exist in some kind of political vacuum. The leaders of these global programs of humanitarian action and “sustainable development” represent an array of neo-compradors: social enterprisers and partisan actors, selling “the burqa-clad woman” of Afghanistan the illusion of economic independence and “social emancipation” through local micro-projects and self-employment initiatives. The language of these agencies of social entrepreneurship and humanitarian service offers a wide-ranging discursive domain within which post-9/11 “counter-terroristic formations” (Boehmer and Morton 2010, 7) thrived in an explosion of distinct discursivities, taking form in pedagogy, morality, sexuality, medical care, philanthropy, beauty industry, women’s emancipation, human rights activism and international security and safety measures. These regimes of knowledge and expertise provide important sites of critical inquiry through which counter-terror can be conceptually subverted and discursively deconstructed as part of a larger system of global control and management, within which neo-liberal politics operate at the interface between the metropolis and the postcolony.","PeriodicalId":46483,"journal":{"name":"Critical Studies on Terrorism","volume":"93 1","pages":"560 - 576"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83839352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The securitisation of immigration through the Tactical Terrorism Response Team","authors":"D. Chevalier","doi":"10.1080/17539153.2023.2229618","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17539153.2023.2229618","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT This article considers a significant stage in the convergence of US counterterrorism policy and immigration enforcement exemplified by the emergence of a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) unit known as the Tactical Terrorism Response Team (TTRT). In my analysis I show: (i) that TTRT agents engage in a process I call social homicide which subjects travellers to a condition of bare life; (ii) that the increasing production of border violence highlights that the convergence of securitisation and immigration enforcement is a praxis of anti-Blackness and Islamophobia; (iii) that securitisation and exclusionary immigration policy have made use of invisibility to create and expand a permanent state of exception; and (iv) that border enforcement through securitisation is used as a mechanism for the surveillance and control of social movements inside the United States. Given the limited public information on TTRT’s operations, this study explores the matter through a case study of Abdikadir Mohamed’s 2017 encounter with the unit, his subsequent immigration proceedings, and the FOIA lawsuit filed against CBP for more information on the TTRT.","PeriodicalId":46483,"journal":{"name":"Critical Studies on Terrorism","volume":"4 1","pages":"537 - 559"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82451896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Pastels and Pedophiles: Inside the mind of QAnon","authors":"L. Rogers","doi":"10.1080/17539153.2023.2231717","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17539153.2023.2231717","url":null,"abstract":"in an oversimplification that fails to consider the differing intellectual, experiential, and ideological roots of different forms (379). Saudi-Indonesia bilateral relations, especially co-operation on counterterrorism strategies and programmes, are discussed in Chapter 10. This bilateral cooperation began in 2014, when the Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) was signed between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, and other Middle Eastern countries. The DCA covers training, education, counterterrorism, and defence industry cooperation. Signed by Saudi Deputy Defense Minister Prince Salman bin Sultan Al Saud and Indonesian Deputy Minister of Defense Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, it is arguably the first agreement of its sort (397). Overall, the book argues that collaboration on combating terrorism is important for both countries and fruitful for both sides. For Indonesia, where counterterrorism lessons can be learned, many issues lie in the actions of the central government, the societal factors that have enabled it, and the precarious state of “success” against terrorism. As for Saudi Arabia, the ruling family has been central in orchestrating changes in public sectors and fighting terrorism by reforming the government bureaucracy, cutting its connection with religious radical factions, and replacing the religious conservatives with moderates in religious, cultural, and educational institutions (409). This book is recommended for those who would like to understand better the struggles over counterterrorism in Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. It may serve as a starting point for those seeking to prevent and overcome terrorism in other parts of the world and broaden readers’ perspectives on the similarities and differences in two Muslim majority countries and the lessons that can be taken from their experiences. The key contribution lies in its comparative approach, with a focus primarily on Islamist terrorism, although other forms of terrorism are also discussed. Al Qurtuby provides a critical assessment for academic and non-academic communities alike, in a field that has overstated and dramatised the central role and contributions of ideology as the locomotive of the Islamist terrorism carriage without sufficiently considering the plurality of agency (terrorist actors) and the multiple complex roots of terrorism and violent extremism.","PeriodicalId":46483,"journal":{"name":"Critical Studies on Terrorism","volume":"45 1","pages":"582 - 585"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75738833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the public policy literature, I argue that P/CVE emerged in response to the policy problem of terrorism, but then absorbed other types of counter-extremism policies centred on policy problems of anti-system activism and separatism. Each of these policy problems tends to attach to different policy goals, means, and instruments and targets different levels of population, which results in implementation differences. I also argue that the choice of counter-extremism policy instruments and their calibration reflects the dominant tendency towards either human-centric or state-centric security paradigms, which further adds to the diversity of what is today indiscriminately labelled as P/CVE.","PeriodicalId":46483,"journal":{"name":"Critical Studies on Terrorism","volume":"124 1","pages":"475 - 500"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89269896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
