"This volume views terrorism trials as a form of theatre, where the 'show' that a trial may offer can develop often unexpected dynamics, which at times might inconvenience the government. Seeing terrorism trials as a stage where legal instruments are used (and abused) to argue the validity of contested political constructs, this study presents a performative perspective to draw attention to the mechanisms and effects of terrorism trials in and outside the courtroom. With a special focus on how the power of these performances may in turn shape new narratives of justice and/or injustice, it offers vital insights into terrorism trials directed involving different types of terrorism suspects, from left-wing to ethno-nationalist and jihadist terrorists, in Spain, Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States"--Back cover

Auch 30 Jahre nach den blutigen Ereignissen des »Deutschen Herbstes« hat das Phänomen RAF seine politische Brisanz nicht verloren. Nicht die erneute Aufarbeitung der RAF-Geschichte steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes, sondern die Frage nach der Rezeption der terroristischen Gruppen und ihrer Gewalttaten in den Medien, der politischen Öffentlichkeit sowie der Kunst. Entgegen der vorherrschenden Tendenz einer isolierten Einordnung der RAF in die deutsche Geschichtsschreibung beleuchten die hier zusammengestellten Beiträge von Zeithistorikern, Politologen sowie Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaftlern das Thema nicht nur interdisziplinär, sondern auch aus einer international vergleichenden Perspektive und stellen Verbindungen zu den Niederlanden, Frankreich und Amerika her.

"This volume explores the way governments endeavoured to build and maintain public support for the war in Afghanistan, combining new insights on the effects of strategic narratives with an exhaustive series of case studies. In contemporary wars, with public opinion impacting heavily on outcomes, strategic narratives provide a grid for interpreting the why, what and how of the conflict. This book asks how public support for the deployment of military troops to Afghanistan was garnered, sustained or lost in thirteen contributing nations. Public attitudes in the US, Canada, Australia and Europe towards the use of military force were greatly shaped by the cohesiveness and content of the strategic narratives employed by national policy-makers. Assessing the ability of countries to craft a successful strategic narrative, the book addresses the following key areas: 1) how governments employ strategic narratives to gain public support; 2) how strategic narratives develop during the course of the conflict; 3) how these narratives are disseminated, framed and perceived through various media outlets; 4) how domestic audiences respond to strategic narratives; 5) how this interplay is conditioned by both events on the ground, in Afghanistan, and by structural elements of the domestic political systems.This book will be of much interest to students of international intervention, foreign policy, political communication, international security, strategic studies and IR in general"--
