This book analyzes emergency legislations formed in response to
terrorism. In recognition that different countries, with different
legal traditions, have different solutions, it adopts a comparative
point of view. The countries profiled include America, France,
Israel, Poland, Germany and United Kingdom. The goal is not to
offer judgment on one response or the other. Rather, the
contributors offer a comprehensive and thoughtful examination of
the entire concept. In the process, they draw attention to the
inadaptability of traditional legal and philosophical categories in
a new and changing political world. The contributors first
criticize the idea of these legislations. They then go on to
develop different models to respond to these crises. They build a
general analytical framework by answering such questions as: What
is an emergency legislation? What kinds of emergencies justify laws
of this nature? Why is contemporary terrorism such a specific
emergency justifying new laws? Using legal and philosophical
reflections, this study looks at how we are changing society.
Coverage also provides historical experiences of emergency
legislations to further illustrate this point. In the end, readers
will gain insight into the long-term consequences of these
legislations and how they modify the very work of the rule of law.
