ABSTRACT
Since the 1970s and especially in the 2000s, the topics of terrorism and counterterrorism have become the focus of a considerable amount of research. Terrorism Studies (TS) has been described, debated, criticized, and defended by a number of different authors (Jackson et al. 2009a; Gunning 2007a; Ranstorp 2009; Reid and Chen 2007; Weinberg and Eubank 2008; Horgan and Boyle 2008). Not all research on terrorism and counterterrorism, however, operates from this orthodox or traditional TS perspective.
