Terrorism in a Global Village: How Terrorism Affects Our Daily Lives

Editat de Maximiliano E Korstanje
en Limba Engleză Hardback – dec 2016
This book centers not only on the scourge of terrorism, a problem which concerns policy-makers, officials and governments worldwide, but dissects the reasons and effects it has on peoples daily lives. Focusing on 9/11 as the founding event, terrorism and the attention given by the media and news containing violence-related content paved the way for the rise of a new stage of capitalism. Authors invited to this project discuss with accuracy to what extent terrorism is changing day-to-day behaviours, social institutions and democracy. Basically, the rise and expansion of globalisation, which crystalised into a more mobile world, alluded to a culture of instantaneity where news on terror produces a double-edge effect. On one hand, terrorist cells are prone to develop crueler and further violent tactics to perpetrate their attacks since the constant media coverage produces a process of desensitisation in audiences. On another hand, the war on terror is discursively manipulated to impose some restrictive economic policies that would otherwise be neglected. Lastly, not only does terrorism seem to affect the tenets of democracy, but it also accelerates the rise of populist leaders in the decades to come. Since terrorism is subtly changing our lives, this book offers an all-encompassing model to expand the current understanding of students, scholars and policy makers in order to prioritise republicanism over the concept of security. In this vein, Latin America has much to say to shed light on how terrorism effaces democracy. In view of the American sentiment of exemplarity adjoined to the commoditisation of death in capitalist societies, the discourse of fear may very well lead to pathological reactions that prevent hospitality, which was historically the touchstone of the Western world.
