Building on securitization theory, Critical Terrorism Studies (CTS), and the scholarly definitional debate on terrorism, it develops the concept of terroristization as a critical analytical framework for the study of historical processes of threat-construction. Investigating the violent events reported in Xinjiang since the early 1980s, the evolving discursive patterns used by the Chinese state to make sense of violent incidents, and the crackdown policies that the official terrorism discourse has legitimized, the book demonstrates how the securitization, and later terroristization, of Xinjiang and the Uyghurs, is the result of a discursive and political choice of the Chinese state. The author reveals the contingent and unstable nature of such construction, and how it problematizes the inevitability of the rationale behind China's 'war on terror', that has prescribed a brutal crackdown as the most viable approach to governing the tensions that have historically characterized China's rule over the Turkic Muslim ethnic minorities in Xinjiang. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of the politics of contemporary China, security and ethnic minority issues, International Relations and Security, as well as those adopting discursive approaches to the study of security, notably those within the critical security and terrorism studies fields"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu (China) $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Terrorism $z Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu. $z Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu. 650 0 $a Political violence $z Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu. $z Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu. 650 0 $a National security $z Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu. $z Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu. 651 0 $a Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu (China) $x Political aspects. $x Political aspects. 650 7 $a Ethnic relations $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916013 650 7 $a National security. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033711 650 7 $a Political violence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069902 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Terrorism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01148101 651 7 $a China $z Xinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01212006 776 08 $i Online version: $a Rodriguez-Merino, Pablo A. $t Violence, discourse and politics in China's Uyghur region $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2023 $z 9781003308041 $w (DLC) 2022033764 830 0 $a Interventions (Routledge (Firm)) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013101.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2640BD66F47811EDA3FB15433FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
