Description
The 9/11 Effect: Comparative Counter-Terrorism by Kent Roach This book critically examines how countries responded to the 2001 terrorist attacks, comparing the approaches of Western democracies with those of countries with more experience in dealing with terrorism. The author assesses common themes that emerged in counter-terrorism policies, including the use of criminal law and immigration law, regulation of speech associated with terrorism, and review of government-wide counter-terrorism activities. The book provides a critical analysis of the United Nations' role in promoting terrorism financing laws and listing processes, as well as its failure to agree on a definition of terrorism or balance human rights concerns with counter-terrorism efforts. The author also evaluates the challenges of transnational cooperation and accountability in combating terrorism. Kent Roach's comparative study offers valuable insights into the complexities of counter-terrorism policy and highlights the need for nuanced approaches that respect human rights while addressing security concerns.
