"By applying sociological insights, most notably influenced by the work of Norbert Elias, to the 250 year development of terrorism in the UK, Michael Dunning has produced an impressively insightful and innovative book. Britain and Terrorism is founded upon a refreshing breadth of expertise that brings to the forefront the social conditions both behind the designation of behaviour as terrorism and the acts that are undertaken by designated terrorists. Consequently this book should be essential reading for anyone who is keen to gain a thoroughly well informed and detached analysis of the concept of terrorism and associated actions. -Stephen Vertigans, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, UK "Dunning offers a long-term view of the changing perception, as well as the practice, of terrorism. It avoids especially the fallacy of trying to understand it through the psychology of the terrorist alone. The book invokes the spirit of Norbert Elias, and is a worthy contribution to that classic tradition." -Stephen Mennell, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University College Dublin. Challenging the standard paradigm of terrorism research through the use of Norbert Elias's figurational sociology, Michael Dunning explores the development of terrorism in Britain over the past two centuries, focusing on long-term processes and shifting power dynamics. In so doing, he demonstrates that terrorism as a concept and designation is entwined with its antithesis, civilization. A range of process sociological concepts are deployed to tease out the sociogenesis of terrorism as part of Britain's relationships with France, Ireland, Germany, the Soviet Union, the industrial working classes, its colonies, and, most recently, jihadism. In keeping with the figurational tradition, Dunning examines the relationships between broad, macro-level processes and processes at the level of individual psyches, showing that terrorism is not merely a 'thing' done to a group, but part of a complex web of interdependent relations. Michael Dunning is Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Leicester, UK. His primary research interests include the processes and relationships that contribute to the development of terrorism, 'radicalisation' and extremism.

Over the last century and a half, manners and formalities in the West have become less status-ridden, stiff and rigid. Debates around Norbert Elias' theory of civilising processes gave rise to questions of a change in direction of these patterns. The concept of informalisation, which describes these transformations, was first used to analyse the tumultuous changes of the 1960s and 1970s. This increasing informality, leniency and flexibility, comes hand-in-hand with a growing demand on individuals to self-regulate their emotions. This book will stimulate debate around the changes in the standards of manners and emotion regulation, and will generate new avenues of enquiry that focus on issues involving informalisation. The chapters shed light on a variety of such moral and political issues over the last 150 years, offering a new and broader scope on the present social condition of humanity. Civilisation and Informalisation will be an important addition for students and scholars of figurational process sociology, and of broader interest to academics across sociology, social psychology and social history

Pourquoi revenir à Norbert Elias, alors que son œuvre est désormais canonisée et que le sociologue allemand est inscrit au panthéon des sciences sociales, aux côtés d’Émile Durkheim, de Max Weber, de Talcott Parsons ou de Pierre Bourdieu ? Parce que cette reprise s’impose aujourd’hui comme une nécessité. Celle-ci tient, simultanément, à l’état de la discussion académique actuelle au sein des sciences sociales et à l’état des sociétés politiques dans lesquelles nous vivons. Les deux sont, pour Norbert Elias, inextricablement liés. Ce volume est consacré à l’explicitation de ce nouage auquel sa sociologie apporte une contribution inégalée. Celle-ci ne s’éclaire que si l’on consent à admettre que Norbert Elias effectue le geste sociologique, dans son intégralité, tel qu’il a été conçu et forgé par les fondateurs de la discipline. Et ce geste suppose de replonger les outils conceptuels de la sociologie dans le cadre ample de ce qu’Elias nomme le problème général de l’évolution historique. Trop souvent parcellisée, parfois malmenée, son œuvre nous offre pourtant des ressources indispensables pour fonder le travail sociologique dans l’objectivité des mécanismes qui travaillent nos sociétés modernes et dans la normativité sociale sous-jacente à l’activité qu’elle génère en s’imposant tel un espace de contraintes et d’opportunités. C’est alors que la sociologie de Norbert Elias se fait politique, science des dynamiques socio-politiques et levier d’émancipation, indissociablement.
