This book addresses the various ways in which modern approaches to
the protection of national security have impacted upon the
constitutional order of the United Kingdom. It outlines and
assesses the constitutional significance of the three primary
elements of the United Kingdom's response to the possibility of
terrorism and other phenomena that threaten the security of the
state: the body of counter-terrorism legislation that has grown up
in the last decade and a half; the evolving law of investigatory
powers; and, to the extent relevant to the domestic constitution,
the law and practice governing international military action and
co-operation. Following on from this, the author demonstrates that
considerations of national security - as a good to be protected and
promoted in contemporary Britain - are reflected not merely in the
existence of discrete bodies of law by which it is protected at
home and abroad, but simultaneously and increasingly leaked into
other areas of public law. Elements of the constitution which are
not directly and inherently linked to national security
nevertheless become (by both accident and design) implicated in the
state's national security endeavours, with significant and at times
far-reaching consequences for the constitutional order generally. A
renewed and strengthened concern for national security since
September 2001 has, it is argued, dragged into its orbit a variety
of constitutional phenomena and altered them in its image, giving
rise to what we might call a national security constitution.
