‘There is no doubt that O’Kane’s analysis is a valuable and interesting one.’
– Simon Tromey, Intelligence and National Security
Terror, Force and States offers a new theoretical explanation of the nature and causes of terror states. The theory is developed through a critical examination of the works of Bauman, Weber, Arendt, Friedrich and Brzezinski, as well as through detailed case studies of terror regimes including Nazi Germany, Stalin’s Russia and Pol Pot’s Cambodia.
The view of force as a form of power is rejected by Rosemary O’Kane who carefully distinguishes between repressive and terror governments and, crucially, between totalitarian dictatorships and totalitarian regimes.
