Recenzii
"Leonard Weinberg, one of the leading scholars of terrorism in the world, has brought together a group of outstanding authors and edited the most comprehensive collection on the perplexing issue of the democratic response to terrorism. I have no doubt that this brilliant collection will become an essential reading for academics, policy makers, and students."
--Ami Pedahzur, The University of Texas at Austin
"Weinberg has brought together a collection of thought-provoking essays on the complexities involved in promoting democratization in countries challenged by terrorism. The chapters on the problems of democratization in Muslim societies are particularly valuable, making this a timely work of political education for our policymakers and citizens."
--Paul Wilkinson, Chairman of the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of St Andrews
"This book steers a welcome and reasoned path between political polemics and scholastic abstractions. It contains succinct but nuanced essays by noted experts on a subject of crucial importance to our time."
--Louise Richardson, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University
"Recommended. General readers and students of all levels." -- CHOICE

Descriere
In the public debate, many observers have argued that there is a trade-off between fighting terrorism and enhancing democracy, implying that democratic governance and its practices are obstacles to confronting terrorism effectively. The purpose of this volume is to show that the values and principles of democracy must not be seen as a hindrance but should rather be considered as essential components of a counter-terrorist strategy. With a foreword by Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former president of Brazil, the essays here assess the elements of a new response against terrorism, such as the role of the legal framework, human rights, democracy and civil society, as well as international cooperation.
