This study of the EU response to the 11 September 2001 attacks demonstrates how European counter-terrorism law strengthens state powers of coercion and control and weakens the rule of law. In this expanded edition a new Afterword examines mass surveillance in Europe and the implications for data privacy, the increasing court scrutiny of counter-terrorist finance measures, and policies that aim to prevent combatants from taking part in terrorism overseas. It asks where the limits of legality lie - and whether courts and parliaments can safeguard political freedom in the face of ongoing efforts to combat terrorism.

Unique in its range and its depth, this is the essential guide to EU counter-terrorism law'.We publiceren alleen reviews die voldoen aan de voorwaarden voor reviews.
