Abstract
This chapter surveys key aspects of Anglo-saxon counterterrorism, and assesses their implications for the state-form. Specifically, it examines: (a) the legal definition of terrorism as a politically motivated crime, which defines all counterterrorism law and policy; (b) the reconfiguration of the rule of law into a novel law-form termed authoritarian legality; (c) the expansion of surveillance powers and the rise in prominence of the intelligence apparatus, leading to total intelligence; and (d) the platforms for popular involvement in counterterrorism, in which new citizen (and enemy) subjectivities are forged. These aspects of counterterrorism are unified in their primary consideration with popular politics; and are inscribed in a strategy of pre-emption. This shared orientation grants coherence to counterterrorism policy
