State and ‘Terrorists’ in Nepal and Northern Ireland

Explore the intricate relationship between state power and terrorism in "State and ‘Terrorists’ in Nepal and Northern Ireland" by Priya Dixit, published by Manchester University Press in 2015. This compelling hardback edition spans 244 pages and provides a thorough examination of how states in both the Global North, particularly Britain during the Northern Ireland conflict, and the Global South, exemplified by Nepal, have employed 'terrorism' in their governance and policies.

Dixit challenges conventional narratives that insist states cannot act as ‘terrorists’ and sheds light on the continuity of state violence in the context of post-9/11 terrorism. With meticulous analysis of particular events, this book invites readers to rethink the dynamics of power and conflict. Perfect for students and scholars of politics and government, this insightful work is essential for understanding the complexities of state terrorism across diverse geopolitical landscapes.
