Our new special issue on 'What the War on Terror Leaves Behind' is now out in European Journal of International Security! 9 amazing *open access* articles on topics inc social policy, proscription, climate change, nuclear politics, monstrosity, coloniality, anarchism, securitisation & critique (Thread 1/12).

The special issue introduction coauthored with Harmonie Toros & Richard Jackson asks whether the war on terror is indeed over, what its legacies might be, and how we might contextualise and situate it historically: cambridge.org/core/journals/… (Thread 2/12)

Charlotte Heath-Kelly then situates counter-radicalisation programmes within localised paradigms of social defence, detailing the penetration of counterterrorism priorities into areas of social policy: cambridge.org/core/journals/… (Thread 3/12)

Our next article by Sophie Haspeslagh asks 'what happens to the terrorists' who find themselves on lists of proscribed organisations when the world's gaze shifts away from counterterrorism: cambridge.org/core/journals/… (Thread 4/12)

In this article, by Henrique Furtado and Jessica Auchter, the focus is on how war on terror tropes and metaphors have been mobilised in contemporary commentary around the Ukraine war: cambridge.org/core/journals/… (Thread 5/12)

South East Asia is the focus of our next contribution by Chang and Jenne. They argue that the war on terror's impact in the region was never as profound as elsewhere, and that we should therefore beware the 'return to geopolitics' thesis: cambridge.org/core/journals/… (Thread 6/12)

The twin dangers of generalisation and presentism are prominent too in Sam Oando's engagement with the colonialities of counterterrorism strategies in East Africa under the war on terror: cambridge.org/core/journals/… (Thread 7/12)

Priya Dixit's article then draws on anarchist and abolitionist thinking to explore the war on terror's potential futures through examples from the United States and Nepal: cambridge.org/core/journals/… (Thread 8/12)

Our next article by Matt McDonald contrasts the treatment of terrorism and climate change by Western states. He highlights the vast disconnect between the harm each issue causes & their prominence within contemporary security imaginaries: cambridge.org/core/journals/… (Thread 9/12)

This article by Andrew Futter & Benjamin Zala focuses on the return of nuclear great power politics including in the Euro-Atlantic, Western Pacific, & Global South: cambridge.org/core/journals/… (Thread, 10/12)

The special issue's final piece, by Michael Lister and me, asks what happens to critical security thinking when its ideas and arguments achieve (or appear to achieve) wider currency: cambridge.org/core/journals/… (Thread, 11/12)

That's it! Huge thanks to European Journal of International Security, and its current/past editors especially Andrew Mumford & Edward Newman. Thanks to the reviewers, copyeditors, contributors, and attendees at various events along the way. It's been a huge privilege, and lovely to see it published! (12/12)

Excited to see this article finally published in Peacebuilding Journal . The article conceptualises Sulhu as a framework for local peacebuilding. Thus elucidating the ontological imprecision & abstraction of "the local" in local peacebuilding discourses. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
