GLOBAL ANTI-TERRORISM LAW
AND POLICY
All indications are that the prevention of terrorism will be one of the
majortasksofgovernmentsandregionalandinternationalorganizations
forsometimetocome.Inresponsetotheglobalizednatureofterrorism,
anti-terrorism law and policy have become matters of global concern.
Anti-terrorism law crosses boundaries between states and between
domestic,regionalandinternationallaw.Italsocrossestraditionaldisci-
plinary boundaries between administrative, constitutional, criminal,
immigration and military law, and the law of war. This collection is
designed to contribute to the growing field of comparative and inter-
national studies of anti-terrorism law and policy. A particular feature
of this collection is the combination of chapters thatfocus on a parti-
cular country or region in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia, and
overarching thematic chapters that take a comparative approach to
particular aspects of anti-terrorism law and policy, including inter-
national, constitutional, immigration, privacy, maritime, aviation, and
financiallaw.
