Global Anti-Terrorism Law and Policy

This international work provides information on and analysis of anti-terrorism law and policy by top experts in the field.

This book is for undergraduate and postgraduate researchers, academics and policy makers looking for an authoritative resource on current anti-terrorism law and policy around the globe. It will appeal to those interested in how international, regional and domestic responses to the threat of terrorism have developed since September 11.Preventing acts of terrorism remains one of the major tasks of domestic governments and regional and international organisations. Terrorism transcends borders, so anti-terrorism law must cross the boundaries of domestic, regional and international law. It also crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries between administrative, constitutional, criminal, financial, immigration, international and military law, as well as the law of war. This second edition provides a comprehensive resource on how domestic, regional and international responses to terrorism have developed since 2001. Chapters that focus on a particular country or region in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia are complemented by overarching thematic chapters that take a comparative approach to particular aspects of anti-terrorism law and policy.
