I recently revisited this 2006 assessment of terrorism studies in Australia by Stuart Koschade, which got me thinking about where you could start if you were to assess the field today.
I’ve put together this list of articles from 2003 onwards by Australian-affiliated authors from the journals Studies in Conflict and Terrorism and Terrorism and Political Violence, traditionally considered the core terrorism journals.
To be included, the article must:
- Have been published in Studies in Conflict and Terrorism or Terrorism and Political Violence.
- Be published at any point from January 2003 (the metadata was less clearly presented for earlier articles and finding them became time-consuming).
- Have at least one author listed as affiliated with an Australian institution.
- Must be a full-length article, not a book review or a reply piece.
This is far from a comprehensive overview of the terrorism research coming out of Australia. The list excludes other terrorism studies journals such as Critical Studies on Terrorism, Perspectives on Terrorism, Behavioral Studies of Terrorism and Political Aggression, Dynamics of Asymmetric Conflict, Democracy and Security and Policing, Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism. Also, lots of terrorism research is published in non-terrorism-specific journals (such as legal journals), in books, in government and think-tank reports, and elsewhere.
So there’s plenty of research by Australian authors missing here, such as the work of Leah Farrall. I may expand the list later on.
The articles are listed in reverse chronological order, and all are unfortunately paywalled.
