“Governance of Terror” examines government reforms in Australia and Canada Since 9/11
Posted by lawpol on March 19, 2008
Andrew Goldsmith takes a critical look at how governments conceptualize the terrorist threat and 
suggests using the Precautionary Principle as a tool “for making sense of, and improving, law reform processes in counterterrorism.” Goldsmith interprets law reforms and decision making in Canada and Australia, and examines what constitutes “expertise,” as well as the “capacity of legislators to scrutinize the arguments of necessity and prognoses of dire threat put forward by executive government.” (Abstract on SSRN)
