Accountability and Review in the Counter-Terrorist State
Counter-terrorism is now a permanent and sprawling part of the legislative and operational apparatus of the state, yet little is known about the law and practice of how it is reviewed, how effective the review mechanisms are, what impact they have or how they interact with one another. This book addresses that gap in knowledge by presenting the first comprehensive, critical analysis of counter-terrorism review in the United Kingdom, informed by e…
Accountability and Review in the Counter-Terrorist State
The United Kingdom should now be understood as a counter-terrorist state, that is a state in which counter-terrorism law, policy, discourse, and operations are mainstreamed across the domains of law and government in forms that are conceptualised and designed as ‘permanent’ in at least some cases; in which non-state actors are responsibilised for counter-terrorism; and in which all persons are the subjects of counter-terrorism, although not to eq…

Interdiction and Indoctrination
Lying behind the recent Counter‐Terrorism and Security Act 2015 is the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters which has sparked international and national attention. The 2015 Act deals with many facets of counter terrorism legislation, but its two principal measures are singled out for analysis and critique in this paper. Thus, Part I of the Act seeks to interdict foreign terrorist fighters by preventing suspects from travelling and dealing dec…

Using the political and legal status of England, Scotland and Wales as a comparison, Jessie Blackbourn evaluat…

The evolving definition of terrorism in UK law
This article argues that academic debates on how and why terrorism is defined should not be reserved solely for abstract discussions about concepts of power, legitimacy and subjectivity, but should also include empirical, interdisciplinary case studies. Through the examination of UK legislation, debates of the Houses of Parliament and government commissioned reports and consultation papers, this article will demonstrate that a critical analysis o…
The Belfast International Terrorism Workshop
International Terrorism and Counterterrorist Legislation
Since September 11, 2001 the threat from international terrorism has led to a greatly increased programme of counterterrorism legislation from the British government, yet it has contradictorily introduced legislation aimed at normalizing society in Northern Ireland. Prime Minister Tony Blair led the way in proclaiming differences between terrorism related to Northern Ireland and terrorism that is international in scope in order to create and enac…
