Terror attacks on western civilian targets have stimulated interest
in the dilemmas faced by liberal societies when combating threats
to national security. Combining the perspectives of political
science and law, this book addresses that discourse, asking how
democracies seek to harmonize the protection of individual
liberties with the defence of state interests. The book focuses on
the experience of Israel, a country whose commitment to democratic
values has continuously been challenged by multiple threats to
national survival. It examines the legal, legislative and
institutional methods employed to resolve the dilemmas generated by
that situation, and thus provides a unique interpretation of
Israeli national security behaviour. Policy-making and
policy-implementation in this sphere, it shows, have reflected not
just external constraints but also shifts in the domestic balance
of power between the executive, the legislature and the judiciary.
The book concludes with an agenda of the measures that each branch
of government needs to implement in order to repair the flaws that
have developed in this system over time. Based on a close reading
of legislative and court readings, the book proposes a new taxonomy
for the analysis of national security legal frameworks, both in
Israel and elsewhere in the democratic world. As such it will be of
great interest to students and scholars of political science,
national security law, Israeli history and civil-military
relations.
