Rethinking terrorism and countering terrorism from a critical perspective. Nevertheless, although a robust critique of the destructive nature and practices of counter-terrorism (CT), counter-radicalisation (CR) and countering (violent) extremism (CVE) has been produced, less attention has been focused on how to rethink these activities, something that the academic community - but, CTS specifically - cannot ignore anymore. Titled "Critical Terrorism Studies and the Normative Turn", the event brought together scholars to rethink CTS and to formulate ways forward in the field, in the understanding of terrorism and in the formulation of counter-terrorism measures. Highlighting the importance of being policy-relevant for Critical Terrorism Studies, both articles bridge CTS with mainstream and governmental counter-terrorism measures.
