Synopsis
Especially since the events of 11 September 2001 and the subsequent 'war on terror', scholarship about and around terrorism and the law has proliferated. In part this growth reflects a burgeoning of new domestic laws, as well as a steady stream of 'soft law' from the United Nations, specialist international bodies, and regional organizations. As serious scholarship flourishes as never before, this new collection from Routledge meets the need for an authoritative reference work to map and make sense of a vibrant site of research and study. In four volumes, Law and Terrorism is an accessible database which brings together foundational and the best and most influential cutting-edge materials. Drawing on scholarship from multiple sources and many jurisdictions, and taking a broadly comparative and historical approach, the collection has been carefully organized to highlight the most important debates and topics.
Law and Terrorism is fully indexed and includes comprehensive introductions, newly written by the editor. It is sure to be welcomed as an essential work of reference by scholars, students, practitioners, and policy-makers.
