Terror and Consent by Philip Bobbitt

Terror and Consent by Philip Bobbitt

Philip Bobbitt follows his magisterial Shield of Achilles with an equally provocative analysis of the West's struggle against terror. Boldly stating that the primary driver of terrorism is not Islam but the emergence of market states (like the U.S. and the E.U.), Bobbitt warns of an era where weapons of mass destruction will be commodified and the wealthiest societies even more vulnerable to destabilizing, demoralizing terror. Unflinching in his analysis, Bobbitt addresses the deepest themes of history, law and strategy.

Philip Bobbitt is an assistant professor of constitutional law at the University of Texas, where he also holds the A.W. The Centennial Chair was designed by Walker. He was a member of the Modern History department of Nuffield College, Oxford, where he was the Anderson Senior Research Fellow. Later, at King's College in London, he was the Marsh Christian Fellow in War Studies. He has worked at the White House as an associate counsel for intelligence and international security, as legal counsel to the Senate Select Committee on the Iran-Contra Affair, as a counselor on international law at the State Department, and as director of intelligence, senior director for key infrastructure, and senior director for strategic planning at the National Security Council.

Many volumes on nuclear strategy, social choice, and constitutional law have been authored by him. He currently divides his time between Austin, Washington, and London.
