This dissertation unpacks the intuition that we "know terrorism when we see it" in an era where rising white supremacist violence forces confrontation with the homogeneity of the "terrorist" category. While the politicized nature of "terrorism" and its identification with a racialized Other are widely recognized by scholars, we lack both a theoretical framework for making sense of why such identification remains sticky and an empirical basis for understanding the assumptions that policymakers bring to the process of crafting counterterrorism policy. This dissertation addresses both gaps by relaxing the assumption that counterterrorism is primarily a national security tool, if an often harmful one. I argue that counterterrorism, as a tool of governance, works through the desire to preserve what I call hegemonic components of national identity, which goes beyond the insight that identity matters in constructing the "terrorist" to position counterterrorism as a way of preserving sociopolitical hierarchies foundational to the state. Empirically, I use interviews and fieldwork with national security bureaucrats and staffers in Germany and the United States, alongside extensive reviews of federal counterterrorism documents, to demonstrate that the construction and persistence of structural white supremacy demands that it not be interrogated too deeply, even when policymakers want to do so. Overall, this dissertation contributes insights into the political work done by applying the "terrorist" classifier to actors that challenge hegemonic power structures, suggesting that counterterrorism as a policy area is a tool for regime preservation, not national security.
