Civil Liberties

This book provides a fresh, clear, and stimulating approach to civil liberties by tying the law and practice of the subject firmly to democratic and political rights. The author examines the key civil liberties of our democratic age: the right tohe vote; the rights to life, liberty and security of theto person; the freedoms of thought, conscience, expression, association and assembly; and discusses the contemporary challenges that civil liberties face, including globalisation and the war on terror.
