The Tabloid Terrorist: The Predicative Construction of New Terrorism in the Media (2010)

'Alexander Spencer successfully establishes constructivist terrorism research as nothing less than an alternative to traditional and critical terrorism studies.' - Professor Christopher Daase, Chair for International Organisations, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany

'This commendable book provides useful insights into how terrorism is developing in the popular imagination' - Michael Higgins in West European Politics

'The book provides interesting inroads, especially in demarcating the difference between critical but still materialist terrorism researchers and constructivist yet critical proponents of the field'

- Alexander Brand in Political Studies Review Vol 10, Issue 1, 2012.
