This handbook explores how democracies around the world seek to
balance democratic values with the requirement to protect their
citizens from the threat of politically motivated violence. Over
the past few decades, the majority of the world's democracies have
had to confront serious security threats, and in many instances
these challenges have not come from rival states but from violent
groups. This volume offers readers an overview of how some
democracies have responded to such threats. It examines the extent
to which authorities have felt compelled to modify laws to evade
what would ordinarily be regarded as protected rights, such as
personal privacy, freedom of movement and freedom of speech.
Grounded in historical analysis, each of the sections addresses
past and emerging security threats; legal and legislative responses
to them; successful and unsuccessful efforts to reconcile democracy
and security; and a range of theoretical questions. The case
studies provided vary in terms of the durability of their
democratic systems, level of economic development and the severity
of the threats with which they have been confronted. The volume is
divided into three thematic parts: Strong democracies: United
States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia,
New Zealand and Israel Challenged democracies: India, South Africa,
Brazil, Argentina and Romania Fragile democracies: the Philippines
and Nigeria. This book will be of much interest to students of
democracy, security studies, political philosophy, Asian politics,
Middle Eastern politics, African politics, West European politics
and IR in general.
