Abstract
Notes
1. This analysis is a hybrid of the positions Foucault developed throughout works such as The Order of Things (Citation1970), The Archaeology of Knowledge (Citation1972), Discipline and Punish (Citation1977), and The History of Sexuality Vol. 1 (Citation1979) (Dreyfus and Rabinow Citation1983).
2. The present definition, while independently arrived at, is similar to that of the report of the UN Secretary-General's High Level Panel and adopted by Kofi Annan (Report of the High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change 2004, p. 52; United Nations Citation2005, §91 26).
3. Goodin (Citation2006, pp. 1, 37) makes a similar argument that the ‘distinctive wrong’ of terrorism is not so much killing and destruction, but its ‘intention to produce fear for socio-political purposes’.
4. Schelling (Citation1966, p. 2) writes: ‘The power to hurt can be counted among the most impressive attributes of military force … it is measured in the suffering it can cause and the victim's motivation to avoid it’.
5. Mbembe's arguments are also taken up by Ahluwalia (Citation2004).
