项目摘要

Counter-terrorism and radicalisation prevention policies are not peripheral discourses and practices that affect only certain individuals and spheres, but should be understood as instruments that have serious implications for civil liberties and human rights (Donohue 2008; Jarvis & Lister 2015). These policies also have more subtle effects on the constitution of identities and the promotion of attitudes and behaviours within the wider population. My PhD research has generated new knowledge on how the conceptualisation of the terrorism threat and the practices and strategies to counter it have undergone substantial transformations over the last fifteen years in the UK. Following the "7/7 bombings" in London in 2005, the threat to the nation's security started to be identified with "radicalised individuals", "home-grown extremists", and "risky" or "vulnerable" individuals (Elshimi 2017). The recent development of a counter-radicalisation agenda includes practices of mass-surveillance, de-radicalisation, and a growing call for public participation in counter-terrorism. My research has investigated this dramatic shift and its implications in different aspects of everyday life and citizens' experiences. My research has shown the substantive transformation of popular and institutional conceptions of the terrorist threat in the UK by analysing official discourses, policies and media coverage, and mapping citizens' views and perceptions. Investigating the role of the media in the dissemination of new imaginaries of radicalisation and interviewing "ordinary" citizens has provided novel perspectives to understand how the general public largely assimilates these new discourses and practices. The study has made an original contribution to exploring the new roles assigned to citizens, and particularly to women, in national security and its grave implications. Thus, my research has provided valuable insights into how, far from being a marginal aspect of our everyday life, counter-terrorism should be understood as an influential instrument of government. The study employed a mixed methodological approach comprising the analysis of official documents (such as counter-terrorism policies, parliamentary debates, and reports), media coverage, and counter-terrorism training directed at the broad public. This approach was complemented by social media analysis and one-to-one interviews with citizens whose knowledge about terrorism and counter-radicalisation was informed by media consumption. My doctoral research makes an original contribution to ongoing debates on national security practices in the context of the global "war on terror"; to an emerging body of international research on pre-emptive counter-terrorism; to critical security studies; and to media and gender studies.During this Fellowship, I will contribute to the understanding of the complex impacts of counter-radicalisation strategies by disseminating my findings in three peer-reviewed articles in high-ranking journals and creating an international network of academic and social actors. In order to enhance our understanding and increase the social awareness of the problematic effects of the new national security practices, as well as to produce alternative solutions, the network will hold an international online symposium and produce a report to disseminate to wider audiences. I will also disseminate my work to non-academic audiences by writing two reports for organisations committed to civil liberties and human rights seeking to influence counter-radicalisation policies. This, together with a research visit to a leading research organisation on peace and conflict studies (the National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, see Attach. 9) and additional training will help to establish me as a leading researcher in my field. I will also apply for funding to the ESRC's New Investigator scheme to advance my research on memory and peace-building processes in the Basque Country.

反恐和激进化预防政策不是只影响某些个人和领域的外围话语和做法，而是应该被理解为对公民自由和人权有严重影响的工具（多诺霍2008;贾维斯和李斯特2015）。这些政策还对身份的构成以及在更广泛的人群中促进态度和行为产生了更微妙的影响。我的博士研究产生了关于恐怖主义威胁的概念化以及应对恐怖主义的做法和战略在过去15年中在英国发生了实质性变化的新知识。在2005年伦敦“7/7爆炸案”之后，对国家安全的威胁开始被确定为“激进的个人”、“本土极端分子”和“危险”或“脆弱”的个人（Elshimi 2017）。最近制定的反激进化议程包括大规模监视、去激进化和越来越多的公众参与反恐的呼吁。我的研究调查了这种戏剧性的转变及其在日常生活和公民体验的不同方面的影响。我的研究表明，通过分析官方话语、政策和媒体报道，以及绘制公民的观点和看法，联合王国对恐怖主义威胁的流行和机构概念发生了实质性转变。调查媒体在传播新的激进主义言论和采访“普通”公民中的作用，为了解公众如何在很大程度上吸收这些新的话语和做法提供了新的视角。这项研究为探讨公民，特别是妇女在国家安全中的新作用及其严重影响作出了独创性贡献。因此，我的研究提供了宝贵的见解，如何，远离我们日常生活的边缘方面，反恐应该被理解为一个有影响力的政府工具。该研究采用了混合方法，包括分析官方文件（如反恐政策、议会辩论和报告）、媒体报道和针对广大公众的反恐培训。这一方法得到了社交媒体分析和与公民的一对一访谈的补充，这些公民对恐怖主义和反激进化的了解来自媒体消费。我的博士研究作出了原创性的贡献，在全球“反恐战争”的背景下，对国家安全实践正在进行的辩论;对先发制人的反恐国际研究的新兴机构;关键的安全研究;以及媒体和性别研究。在此期间，我将通过在三个同行中传播我的研究结果，为理解反激进化战略的复杂影响做出贡献。审查了高级期刊上的文章，并建立了一个学术和社会行为者的国际网络。为了加深我们对新的国家安全做法的不良影响的理解，提高社会对这些影响的认识，并提出替代解决办法，该网络将举办一次国际在线研讨会，并编写一份报告，向更广泛的受众散发。我还将通过为致力于公民自由和人权的组织撰写两份报告，以影响反激进政策，向非学术受众传播我的工作。这次访问，以及对一个主要的和平与冲突研究组织（国家和平与冲突研究中心，见附件）的研究访问。9)额外的培训将有助于我成为我所在领域的领先研究者。我还将申请资助ESRC的新研究者计划，以推进我在巴斯克地区的记忆和和平建设过程的研究。
