The state and 'terrorists' in Nepal and Northern Ireland : the social construction of state terrorism
Dixit, PriyaAuthor
This title is about states' use of 'terrorism' to label others, especially specific groups within their own political territories and how such usage is legitimated and challenged. By examining how the Nepali state used the label of 'terrorism' to refer to Maoists in the post September 11, 2001 era, and comparing it with previous usage of the term by the British state in relation to the Irish Republican Army (IRA), Priya Dixit provides a comparative and historical analysis of states' use of the rhetoric of terrorism.
