Balancing Security and Liberty: Critical Perspectives on Terrorism Law Reform (2008)

Abstract
Chapter 5 of "Fresh Perspectives on the ‘War on Terror’". Much of the debate post-September 11 (9/11) about expansion of state power to combat terrorism has been framed as striking a balance between security and liberty. The ‘balancing approach’, whereby security is reconciled with respect for fundamental liberal rights and values, has been very influential in counter‑terrorism law reform in Australia.
