Ramraj Victor V., Hor Michael, Roach Kent (ed.) Global Anti-Terrorism Law and Policy

Cambridge University Press, 2005. — 664 p.All indications are that the prevention of terrorism will be one of the major tasks of governments and regional and international organizations for some time to come. In response to the globalized nature of terrorism, anti-terrorism law and policy have become matters of global concern. Anti-terrorism law crosses boundaries between states and between domestic, regional and international law. It also crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries between administrative, constitutional, criminal, immigration and military law, and the law of war. This collection is designed to contribute to the growing field of comparative and international studies of anti-terrorism law and policy. A particular feature of this collection is the combination of chapters that focus on a particular country or region in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia, and overarching thematic chapters that take a comparative approach to particular aspects of anti-terrorism law and policy, including international, constitutional, immigration, privacy, maritime, aviation, and financial law.
