The 9/11 Effect Comparative Counter-Terrorism
The 9/11 Effect Comparative Counter-Terrorism by Kent Roach, published by Cambridge University Press on August 15, 2011, is a comprehensive examination of the global responses to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. This 492-page book critically analyzes how various countries, including western democracies like the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, align their counter-terrorism strategies with those of nations that have more extensive experience dealing with terrorism, such as Egypt, Syria, and Israel.
Readers will find a thorough discussion of common themes in counter-terrorism, including the use of criminal and immigration law, the regulation of speech related to terrorism, and the development of national security policies. The book also critiques the role of the United Nations in promoting terrorism financing laws while highlighting the lack of consensus on a definition of terrorism and the need to balance security measures with human rights considerations. Additionally, it addresses the shortcomings of the American approach to counter-terrorism and the complexities involved in international cooperation and accountability.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book critically and comparatively examines the responses of the United Nations and a range of countries to the terror attacks on September 11, 2001. It assesses the convergence between the responses of western democracies including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada with countries with more experience with terrorism including Egypt, Syria, Israel, Singapore, and Indonesia. A number of common themes – the use of criminal law and immigration law, the regulation of speech associated with terrorism, the review of the state’s whole of government counter-terrorism activities, and the development of national security policies – are discussed. The book provides a critical take on how the United Nations promoted terrorism financing laws and listing processes and the regulation of speech associated with terrorism but failed to agree on a definition of terrorism or the importance of respecting human rights while combating terrorism. It also assesses the failures of the American extra-legal approach and departures from criminal justice and the challenges of transnational cooperation and accountability for counter-terrorism.
