The rule of law is becoming a victim of the struggle against
terrorism. Many countries are reviewing their security procedures
and questioning whether due process rights hinder them in the war
on terror. There is increasing emphasis on preventive detention or
strategies of disablement that cut into the liberties of suspects
who may not have committed a crime. The focus of this book is the
Republic of Ireland, where the risk of political violence has
constantly threatened the Irish state. To ensure its survival, the
state has resorted to emergency laws that weaken due process
rights. The effects of counter-terrorism campaigns upon the rule of
law governing criminal justice in Ireland are a central feature of
this book. Globalization has supported this crossover, as organized
crime seems immune to conventional policing tactics. But
globalization fragments the authority of the state by introducing a
new justice network. New regulatory agencies are entrusted with
powers to control novel risks and social movements adopt a human
rights discourse to contest state power and emergency laws. The
result of this conflux of actors and risks is are negotiation of
the model of justice that citizens can expect. Terrorism, Rights
and the Rule of Law contributes to current debates about civil
liberties in the war on terror, how counter-terrorism can
contaminate criminal justice, and how globalization challenges a
state-centred view of criminal justice. It will be of key interest
to students of criminology, law, human rights and sociology,as well
as legal and other practitioners and policy-makers.
