Publisher's Synopsis

This book builds a theoretical perspective for explaining what security remains after the security event. It studies in detail the evolution of security thinking before, during and after the 2011 terrorist attack in Ut�ya and Oslo, Norway, tracking the political discourse and the institutional reactions in order to form a theory of 'terror and disenchantment'. It develops a general theory of security that contributes to ongoing debates on non-military security, asymmetric warfare, ontological security and human security. It revisits the nature of terrorism, the sense of its practice and re-conceptualises the way practice of counter- and anti-terrorism are embedded in social, cultural and national consciousness.
