This book offers a multifaceted understanding of how the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent War on Terror affected the Caribbean.

This book dives deeper into how the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent War on Terror impacted the region’s tourism industry, anti-terrorism legislation, and the banking/financial and immigration system. This book analyzes the US-led War on Terror through a broader conceptual lens, i.e., using two Schmittian perspectives (the friend–enemy and the sovereign in times of exception), which offers an opportunity for the methodological interpretation of Bush’s counterterrorism policy to give a novel conceptual understanding of the War on Terror in relation to the Caribbean. Thus, this book offers a nuanced and novel perspective on the subject matter.

This book will be of much interest to students studying about terrorism, Caribbean studies, political theory, and international relations.
