In this episode, Dr Judith Koch hosts Dr Kodili Chukwuma, Assistant Professor of Interna-tional Security at Durham University's School of Government and International Affairs. They discuss his new book, Nigeria's Counter-terrorism Strategy: Constructions of Threat, Re-sponse and Identity (Edinburgh University Press, 2025). Drawing on critical, constructivist and discursive approaches, Chukwuma challenges conven-tional understandings of counterterrorism in Nigeria, showing how counterterrorism policies not only respond to perceived threats but also shape constructions of the Nigerian state, society and national identity. In this conversation, he reflects on the importance of positionality and histori-cal experience and discusses the concept of counterterrorism as a pharmakon - simultaneously remedy and poison. He also examines the relationship between discourse and the political economy of insurgency, asking how material conditions and political interests shape the construction of security threats. Finally, they talk about the contemporary relevance of these questions for scholars, policymakers and broader publics, and discuss Chukwuma’s current and forthcoming research.
