Terrorism and the non-State actor after September 11: The role of law in the search for security. September 11 elicited diverse legal responses to a perceived threat of unprecedented global terrorism. This project will redress the dearth of analysis integrating legal and social-scientific perspectives on recent anti-terrorism laws.

September 11 elicited diverse legal responses to a perceived threat of unprecedented global terrorism. This project will redress the dearth of analysis integrating legal and social-scientific perspectives on recent anti-terrorism laws.

The research will enhance understanding of current reactions to terrorism and inform policy analysis and public debate over appropriate future responses.
