The projects intends to examine how states’ narrative construction of terrorism informs their strategic counterterrorism responses and potentially modifies legitimate state institutions. They also investigate the function of state institutions in the maintenance of control over territory and socio-political order. This study requires an exploration of socio-cultural influences in explaining the narratives and counter-narratives of political responses to counter-terrorist strategy. The intention of the investigation is to discover if it is possible to identify variables that can be used as a reference system and to provide an extended spatial-temporal interpretation of narratives, through a discourse analysis methodology. The phenomenon of resistance to legitimate power highlights a multi-level view of violence. Through a comparative theoretical framework this project aims to test how, in the transitional era following European centrality, an extended spatial-temporal interpretation of narratives is functional to developing political strategies Throughout a historical study, which is rooted in the first part of the twentieth century, we will identify the variables for comparative research on the “strategies of terror” via contemporary case studies.
