Beckman, J. (2016). Comparative legal approaches to
homeland security and anti-terrorism. Routledge.
If terrorism is part of a
broader insurgency, counter-terrorism may have to employ certain
counter-insurgency measures. Beckman argues that legal action has to be taken
against individuals or agencies who are promoting terrorism in one way or the
other, and the foreign defense ministry can play its integral role in reducing
the conditions under which threats to security are developed.

Australia's anti-terrorism laws and trials. NewSouth.
Australia is one of those very few countries
that have taken terrorism seriously. It emphasizes the need to promote peace
and harmony, and for this purpose, the government has established the Criminal

(2017). Challenges in researching terrorism from the field. Science, 355(6323),
352-354.
Despite serious efforts of
the intelligence agencies, countless cases of terrorism are reported every
single day. According to this article, those who introduce anti-terrorism
policies are given tough times, and they have to face plenty of challenges. An
alternative solution to the problem is to do field research and to get more and
more youngsters involved so that every citizen can play a vital role in
maintaining peace within the country.

Diplomacy as Counter-Terrorism Measure in Contemporary International
Politics. Global Social Sciences Review, 3(2), 1-20.
In this position article, Fatima and Khan
have applied the concept of soft power to the Arab world. The public opinions
are given much importance, and it is quite difficult for American diplomats who
have worked in Arab countries to continue working in the UAE while taking care
of the US justice system. They neither want to do anything against the rules
and regulations of the Arab countries nor want to disrespect the American
policies.
Powell, K. (2018). Framing Islam/Creating Fear: An Analysis
of US Media Coverage of Terrorism from 2011–2016. Religions, 9(9),
257.
Since 9/11, a large number
of Americans, Canadians, and Europeans have framed Islam as a religion that
promotes terrorism. In this article, Powell argues that the fear of
international terrorism is dominant, but this does not mean Islam is supporting
it. In fact, various Muslims have themselves been killed worldwide in terrorist
attacks.
