In other words, this article discusses “public anti-terrorism action” (PATA) and its variants. We conclude with a singular approach to the study of terrorism, a “state-centered” approach that departs from research focused solely on terrorist actors or groups that have emphasized the notion of “radicalization” or the narrow realities of official counter-terrorism or state terrorism. date: 2024-12-18 date_type: published publisher: SAGE Publications. id_number: 10.1177/26330024241304411 faculty: droit divisions: IDETCOM language: en has_fulltext: FALSE view_date_year: 2024 full_text_status: none publication: Violence: An International Journal volume: vol. 0 number: n°0 place_of_pub: Californie refereed: TRUE issn: 2633-0024 harvester_local_overwrite: eprintid harvester_local_overwrite: userid harvester_local_overwrite: faculty harvester_local_overwrite: dir harvester_local_overwrite: site harvester_local_overwrite: type harvester_local_overwrite: date_type harvester_local_overwrite: language harvester_local_overwrite: creators_name harvester_local_overwrite: date harvester_local_overwrite: refereed harvester_local_overwrite: divisions harvester_local_overwrite: publication harvester_local_overwrite: title harvester_local_overwrite: creators_id harvester_local_overwrite: publish_to_hal harvester_local_overwrite: subjects harvester_local_overwrite: number harvester_local_overwrite: volume harvester_local_overwrite: issn harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: ispublished harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: abstract harvester_local_overwrite: publisher harvester_local_overwrite: id_number harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub site: ut1 publish_to_hal: FALSE citation: Ferret, JérômeIdRef and Spenlehauer, VincentIdRef (2024) Studying terrorism through the lens of public actions: A pragmatic state-centered approach.
