Using India as a case study, Joseph McQuade will discuss his research on how the modern concept of terrorism was shaped by colonial emergency laws dating back into the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Beginning with the ‘thugs’, ‘pirates’, and ‘fanatics’ of the nineteenth century, McQuade will trace the emerging and novel legal category of ‘the terrorist’ in early twentieth-century colonial law, ending with an examination of the first international law to target global terrorism in the 1930s. He will also discuss how many of the ideas embedded in this colonial legislation have continued to shape postcolonial counter-terrorism strategies well into the twenty-first century.
