Abstract
There have been several developments in the field of terrorism in the post-9/11 era, which academics and policymakers continue to unravel and debate today. One of these is the emergence and increase in what has been dubbed “homegrown” terrorism. As with most issues related to terrorism, the concept of homegrown terrorism is contentious and much debated. This chapter intends to deconstruct the phenomenon. It will provide an account of our efforts to understand it, a discussion on how it has changed and evolved over the past several years, and close with introducing some of the larger challenges that Western democratic states will continue to face moving forward.
