The War on Terror and the Caribbean: Schmittian Perspectives

By Emanuel Quashie

This book offers a multifaceted understanding of how the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent War on Terror affected the Caribbean.

This book dives deeper into how the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent War on Terror impacted the region's tourism industry, anti-terrorism legislation, and the banking/financial and immigration system. This book analyzes the US-led War on Terror through a broader conceptual lens, i.e., using two Schmittian perspectives (the friend-enemy and the sovereign in times of exception), which offers an opportunity for the methodological interpretation of Bush's counterterrorism policy to give a novel conceptual understanding of the War on Terror in relation to the Caribbean. Thus, this book offers a nuanced and novel perspective on the subject matter.

This book will be of much interest to students studying about terrorism, Caribbean studies, political theory, and international relations.
