This is an important book written at a time when the creation of dualism between 'us', the ruling majority of the State authorities, and 'them', the minorities and/or non-nationals, has gained momentum and cultural conflicts are continually regressing the concept of the democratic state in a globalising society.

...outstanding monograph, which combines rigorous empirical analysis of selected anti-terrorism laws with an excellent grasp of human rights law principles and a sophisticated theoretical framework.

[A] magnificent piece of scholarly research, and one which stands head and shoulders above the majority of books on terrorism since 9/11.

Human Rights and Non-Discrimination in the 'War on Terror' represents a worthy and thought-provoking exploration of the issue of direct discrimination in this context. It is likely to provoke further debate as to the human rights implications and genuinely non-discriminatory nature of the alternative it proposes-formal rules that are applicable to everyone...This book should be read by all those working in this field; it makes a very significant contribution to the current deabte in drawing attention to the issue of direct discrimination which has been neglected in much of the writing on this subject.
