New Book: Critical Debates on Counter-Terrorism Judicial Review

I am delighted that my new book, co-edited with Fergal F. Davis (UNSW), has now been published by Cambridge University Press. The book, entitled Critical Debates on Counter-Terrorism Judicial Review, features an excellent collection of international scholars who bring their own unique perspectives to the debates about the role and nature of judicial review of counter-terrorist measures, as well as alternatives to judicial oversight (such as enhanced political oversight, enquiries and independent reviewers). This is reflected in the table of contents:
