Description

Reimagining the National Security State: A Critical Examination of Liberal Democracy in the Age of War on Terror. This comprehensive analysis explores how US government policies have impacted civil liberties, human rights, and the rule of law since 9/11. Through a multidisciplinary approach, combining theory, history, law, and policy, the book sheds light on the expansion of executive powers, secrecy, and questionable legal territory in areas such as detention, justice, targeted killings, and warfare. The contributors, experts in their respective fields, examine the historical precedents and lasting impact of the security state on civil liberties, human rights, and the rule of law. This book provides a critical perspective on the consequences of prioritizing national security over democratic values.
