In the wake of the September 11 attacks, Americans were confronted
with a new kind of war and a new kind of danger. After the strikes,
institutions were created to mobilize the domestic response to
potential terrorist threats and Congress passed legislation giving
the president broad powers to fight terrorism and to provide
heightened security for the nation. In this timely work, a team of
experts addresses the question of how a democracy faces the
challenge of balancing legitimate homeland security concerns
against the rights and freedoms of its citizens. They evaluate the
measures introduced in the aftermath of 9/11 and assess the
far-reaching consequences of those changes for American politics
and society.
