Böcker av J. Peter Burgess

Starting with the astonishing lone-wolf terrorist attacks in Oslo and Utøyain July 2011 and the extraordinary mutation in security thinking that happened in its aftermath, this book develops an innovative theory of terrorism as the enchantment of danger.

The field of critical security studies has revolutionized scholarship on security practice. Guided by securitization theory, this field has focused largely on the objective side of the security practice. This book questions the subject-position from which 'securitization' and other security practices takes place.
