About
Threat is one of the major driving forces of individual, group and societal behaviour. Threats can be perceived as coming from the outside or emerging from processes within societies. On the individual level, threats and accompanying feelings of threat can lead to severe psychological suffering, to reactions against the threatening agent as well as against third parties which are in one way or the other subjectively connected to the threatening agent. In a similar way, individual-, group- or national-level threats lead to domestic as well as international defensive processes. Individual as well as societal and political reactions to threat have strong implications for broad patterns of support for policing and civil rights.
The following publications by the Governance consortia relate to the evolving politics of threat:
