Reimagining the National Security State provides the first
comprehensive picture of the toll that US government policies took on
civil liberties, human rights, and the rule of law in the name of the
war on terror. Looking through the lenses of theory, history, law, and
policy, the essays in this volume illuminate the ways in which liberal
democracy suffered at the hands of policymakers in the name of
national security. The contributors, who are leading experts and
practitioners in fields ranging from political theory to evolutionary
biology, discuss the vast expansion of executive powers, the excessive
reliance secrecy, and the exploration of questionable legal territory
in matters of detention, criminal justice, targeted killings, and
warfare. This book gives the reader an eye-opening window onto the
historical precedents and lasting impact the security state has had on
civil liberties, human rights and, the rule of law in the name of the
war on terror.
