FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

The threat of personal harm and destruction from terrorist attacks is nowhere near as great as in Arab nations. However, are counter-terrorism laws in the Arab world formulated and enforced to protect or oppress? Colonialism, Neo-Colonialism, and Anti-Terrorism Law in the Arab World examines the relationship between Western influence and counter-terrorism law, focusing on the Arab world, which is, on the one hand, a hostile producer of terrorist organizations, and on the other, a leader in countering 'terrorism'. With case studies of Egypt and Tunisia, Alzubairi traces the colonial roots of the use of coercion and extra-legal measures to protect the ruling order, which are now justified in both the West and the Arab world in the name of counter-terrorism. Colonialism, Neo-Colonialism, and Anti-Terrorism Law in the Arab World provides important lessons for counter-terrorism, not just in these countries but also elsewhere in the world.

Review

'An excellent examination of the neglected but vital subject of counter-terrorism in the Arab world and an essential text in the field of comparative counter-terrorism. A must read for all those interested in understanding the effects of both counter-terrorism and colonialism in both Egypt and Tunisia.' Kent Roach, Prichard Wilson Chair in Law and Public Policy, University of Toronto, author of Comparative Counter-Terrorism'This is an extremely timely and cogent investigation into the origins, development and current deployment of counter-terrorism law and policy in Egypt and Tunisia. The application of colonial and neo-colonial lenses to Arab states' counter-terrorism legislation underlies a compelling account of the ways in which these current laws and practices fit into today's global power dynamics.' Lynn Welchman, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London'Overall, Alzubairi's study is certainly a remarkable scholarly work that adds crucial value to our knowledge of the genesis and genealogy of antiterrorism and counterterrorism in the Global South and the Arabic Middle East … which represents a premium contribution to the body of literature in the fields of terrorism and Middle Eastern studies.' Ahmed M. Abozaid, Terrorism & Political Violence
