But are we really any safer? Has freedom been secured by active deployment of state power, or fatally undermined?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this groundbreaking new book, Conor Gearty unpacks the history of global anti-terrorism law, explaining not only how these regulations came about, but also the untold damage they have wrought upon freedom and human rights. Ranging from the age of colonialism to the Cold War, through the perennial crises in the Middle East to the exponential growth of terrorism discourse compressed into the first two decades of the 21st century, the coercion these laws embody is here to stay. The ‘War on Terror’ was something that colonial and neo-colonial liberal democracies had always been doing—and something that is not going away. Anti-terrorism law no longer requires terrorism to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWide-ranging, elegant and with a perceptive analytical sting, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the deep origins of terrorism and counter-terrorism, and how these concepts fundamentally shape the world we live in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: Home and Away\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part One: ROOTS\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: Imperium\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Cold War\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Uncertain Homelands\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Terrorism Goes Global\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: Fear of the Other\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part Two: SPREAD\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: The War on Terror\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7: The United Nations\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8: UN Blacklists\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9: Liberal Fightback?\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: Depth Charges\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20%5BHB%5D%22\"\u003eHB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52173699350808,"sku":"9781509553716","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509553716.jpg?v=1781167470","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/homeland-insecurity-the-rise-and-rise-of-global-anti-terrorism-law-hardback-9781509553716","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
