Editorial Reviews

This volume will be of great interest to scholars in the civil liberties subfield. It is consciously designed to overrepresent new developments in an effort to stimulate work in subjects not now adequately treated, as well as to encourage further policy analysis...This volume should be read by serious scholars in the field who seek to keep abreast of latest developments.
