Legislating anti-terrorism: observations on form and process |
Terrorism Legislation Security
The likely conduct of the three arms of government in responding to threats to national security – and the strengths and weaknesses possessed by each in doing so – has been the subject of a considerable amount of academic debate in the years since the terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001.
