This is a collaborative project with Dr Yasutaka Tominaga at Hosei University. This project aims to examine the causes and consequences of terrorist labelling. Different governments around the world have different lists of designated terrorist groups, and this project seeks to explain this variation and explore the domestic and international determinants of terrorist labelling. We plan to build a comprehensive database on designated terrorist groups and the governments that label them. Using this database, we will investigate the foreign policy and domestic politics considerations that drive the labelling. This project has been awarded MOE AcRF Tier 1 grant for two years.
[Update] Data collection and literature review for this project are nearly completed. The first draft of the research output was presented at the ISA annual conference. We are working on the second draft based on the comments we received at the ISA.
