Reviews

'A deep and thoughtful exploration of counter-terrorism written by leading commentators from around the globe. This book poses critical questions about the definition of terrorism, the role of human rights and the push by many governments for more security powers. It carefully examines the boundaries between crime and thought, crime and war, the domestic and the international and the legal and the illegal-boundaries that were once seen as inviolate, but which have become blurred during the last turbulent decade.'
--Kent Roach, University of Toronto, Canada'This edited book contains very informative, well-researched and well-argued chapters. It brings to the fore legal and conceptual issues that have preoccupied lawyers, academics and government officials since 9/11.'
--Stéphane Lefebvre, Rutgers School of Criminal Justice
