The idea of security has recently seen a surge of interest from
political philosophers. After the atrocities of 11 September 2001
and 7 July 2005, many leading politicians justified encroachments
on international legal standards and civil liberties in the name of
security and with a view to protecting the rights of the people.
Suggestions were made on both sides of the Atlantic to the effect
that the extremism of terrorism required the security of the many
to be weighed against the liberties of other citizens. In this
collection of essays, Jeremy Waldron, Conor Gearty, Tariq Modood,
David Novak, Abdelwahab El-Affendi and others debate how to move
beyond the false dichotomy whereby fundamental human rights and
international standards are conceived as something to be balanced
against security. They also examine the claim that this aim might
better be advanced by the inclusion in public debate of explicitly
religious voices.
