Opis

Counter-Terrorism Networks in the European Union: Maintaining Democratic Legitimacy after 9/11 presents a model of democratic legitimacy for within international counter-terrorism co-operation. Exploring the current practices of European Union (EU) counter-terrorism policing, developed after 9/11, it highlights the current significant challenges to democratic legitimacy and seeks to present tools and solutions which ensure 'democratic' counter-terrorism actions and the protection of human rights.

Recenzje

Counter-terrorism Networks is a useful addition to the growing debate on the need for democratic scrutiny over the growth of the national security community whose pursuit of terrorists increasingly challenge fundamental rights.
