"Terrorism, Security and Nationality" shows how the ideas and techniques of political philosophy can be applied to the practical problems of terrorism, State violence and national identity. In so doing, it clarifies a wide range of issues in applied political philosophy including: the ethics of war; theories of state and nation; the relationship between communities and nationalisms; and human rights and national security. This text identifies the conflicting conceptions of civil strife held by different political communities and investigates notions of terrorism both as unjust war and as political crime. It considers possible reasons for violent action and assesses their plausibility from a philosophical standpoint.
