IndexTerrorism trials are an exceptional opportunity for better understanding and, hence, countering terrorism, since they are often the only place where most if not all of the actors of a terrorist incident meet again, and where the media report and broadcast their respective accounts. Seeing terrorism trials as a stage where legal instruments are used (and abused) to argue the validity of contested political constructs, this study presents a performative perspective to draw attention to the mechanisms and effects of terrorism trials in and outside the courtroom. With a special focus on how the power of these performances may in turn shape new narratives of justice and/or injustice, it offers vital insights into terrorism trials directed involving different types of terrorism suspects, from left-wing to ethno-nationalist and jihadist terrorists, in Spain, Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, and the US.Political Science / TerrorismbisacshPolitical sciencePolitical ScienceVera ZasulichStalinIRABaader-Meinhof GroupMoussaouiHofstad GroupGestoraBreivikGuantánamoPolitical Science / TerrorismPolitical science345.7307Graaf Beatrice de (Ed.)Schmid Alex P45794Graaf Beatrice de967119MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910311949203321Terrorists on Trial2195456UNINA
