Abstract
Notes
1. This image is from Oscar Wilde (Kiberd Citation1997, p. 284).
2. Explained at length by Booth (Citation2007).
3. Quoted in Booth (Citation2007, p. 337).
4. This is a view shared with Chomsky (Booth Citation2007, p. 267).
5. These points are elaborated in Booth (Citation2007, pp. 230–249).
6. The issues are discussed further in Booth (Citation2007, pp. 234–236).
7. Despite this, the author is not inclined to attach the word ‘terrorist’ to somebody who brings about terror as a result of carelessness, neglect, or inadvertence. In many parts of the world in recent years violent mud slides, dangerous floods, and nightmare hurricanes have caused death and terror, but it would be going too far – perhaps? – to stick the label ‘terrorist’ on those whose ordinary lives have contributed to the human role in what the World Wildlife Fund rightly insists on calling ‘climate chaos’. There is some value in preserving the label ‘terrorist’ for those who plan or commit deliberate acts of terror against civilians for political purposes.
8. Cole's arguments are discussed at more length in Booth (Citation2007, pp. 445–449).
9. This sentence is an almost direct paraphrase of Bauer's (2007, p. 38) words about the Holocaust.
10. Quoted and discussed in Jackson et al. (Citation2007, p. 5).
11. These matters are discussed in Booth and Wheeler (Citation2008, pp. 237–241, 247–248, 297–298).
12. This argument is elaborated in Booth (Citation2007, pp. 395–426).
13. The concept of emancipation is discussed in Booth (Citation2007, esp. pp. 90–91, 111–116, 256–260, 277–278).
14. This definition derives from the author's definition of a critical theory of security (Booth Citation2007, pp. 30–31).
