Abstract
Discussions of security issues have featured notable conceptual innovation since 11 September 2001. Concepts such as ‘War on Terror’ and ‘long war’ have been created, while concepts such as ‘WMD’ and ‘rogue states’ have moved from policy discourses into the public vernacular. For nation-states, a ‘new’ security dilemma has replaced an old one,1 and Islamic concepts such as ‘jihad’ and ‘caliphate’ have been the subject of increasing attention and contestation among Muslim and non-Muslim audiences.
