SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"The objective of this volume is to address the issues that are at stake in this dual process of political closure, and to therefore rethink how states can respond to terrorist threats. The contributors offer a unique combination, being drawn from leading conceptual theorists to policy-oriented analysts, from senior academics to junior researchers. The book explores how terrorism has had a profound impact on how security is being understood and implemented, and uses a range of hitherto neglected sources of insight, such as those between political, economic, legal and ethical factors, to examine the nature and meaning of security in a rapidly changing world." "This book will be of much interest to students of Terrorism Studies, Security Studies, International Law and International Relations in general."--Jacket.
