"Terrorism and Counterterrorism in Canada addresses a timely, indeed pressing, set of issues on the public agenda: terrorism and the debate over the appropriate response of states to the threats posed by violent non-state actors. It does so in the Canadian context, filling in the background of terrorist activities in and against Canada and offering guidance in setting the public agenda for counterterrorist responses. With exemplary scholarship, this collection will be of interest not only to specialists but to a wider audience currently engaged with the day-to-day issues of terrorism that dominate the media and to all those concerned with the political issues raised by terrorist threats."
