This interdisciplinary book presents an intervention into methodological practices in the subfield of Critical Terrorism Studies, and features established and early career scholars.

The volume interrogates the role that research methods play in shaping the sub-discipline of Critical Terrorism Studies (CTS). It responds to two major methodological gaps within CTS: (1) the dearth of Global South cases and voices, and decolonial and feminist approaches; and (2) the lack of engagement with ‘traditional’ disciplines and quantitative methods. Together, authors demonstrate that interdisciplinary methodological dialogues can open up new possibilities for researchers seeking pathways towards and definitions of emancipation, social justice and freedom from violence. Simultaneously, the book shows that by focusing on the possibilities that methodologies open up to us and by maintaining a commitment to reflexive practice, we expand our understandings of what are ‘legitimate’ and ‘acceptable’ forms of research, thus challenging the Critical/Terrorism Studies divide. The chapters draw upon a wide range of empirical cases, including Nigeria, Kenya, France, Brazil and the UK, focusing on three key issues within Critical Terrorism Studies: its own relationship with and perpetuation of epistemic violence; decolonial, postcolonial, Global South, feminist and queer approaches; and more ‘traditional’ approaches and methods as a means to interrogate the methodological binary between Critical Terrorism Studies and Terrorism Studies.

This book will be of much interest to students of critical terrorism studies, counter-terrorism, security studies and International Relations in general.

'This necessary and important volume makes the case for self-reflexivity and methodological pluralism in Critical Terrorism Studies to guard against Eurocentric, racist, and colonial modes of thought that, despite the criticality of its methods, continue to shape much of the scholarship in this field. The contributions to this volume showcase the richness and urgency of postcolonial, decolonial, non-Western, Global South, abolitionist, feminist, and queer approaches, whose insights are central for making visible, rather than perpetuating, the systems of oppression in which terrorism, as well as its (critical) study, participate.'
