This interdisciplinary volume addresses terrorism through the lens of values, ethics, and human dignity. Rather than focusing on operational or organizational elements of terrorism, it interrogates the foundational moral and philosophical issues underpinning violence and responses to it. Contributors from diverse fields explore the intangible dimensions of terrorism—belief systems, justifications of violence, and the moral costs of counterterrorism strategies. It seeks to bridge the gap between theory and policy by reflecting on normative frameworks and the ethical dilemmas inherent in combating terrorism. Highly relevant for peacebuilding initiatives, deradicalization programs, and ethical policymaking. This book provides a rich resource for scholars, policymakers, and educators interested in understanding how values and justice frameworks intersect with real-world violence and counter-violence strategies. It supports the GRACE Repository’s mission by promoting deeper, value-based engagement with the root causes of terrorism and extremism. The book makes a significant contribution by placing moral reasoning at the center of discussions on terrorism. It encourages readers to think beyond tactical responses and consider the philosophical underpinnings of both violence and justice. This makes it a critical tool for fostering nonviolent ideologies and ethical governance. A vital academic addition that stimulates ethical reflection and supports constructive dialogue. Its multidimensional approach aligns well with interfaith harmony, peacebuilding, and counter-radicalization efforts promoted by GRACE.
