Description

A new textbook exploring selected national security law issues, focusing on the choices between liberty and security and law’s role as a tool or constraint on national security policy. Written for students who may not have prior experience studying the various areas of law that comprise national security law such as constitutional, international, and criminal law. This text is deliberately not a “casebook,” with extended excerpts of judicial opinions followed by notes and questions, often leaving the reader to wonder “what is the law”? Instead, the authors have clearly explained complicated legal issues inherent in national security, while not ignoring the material’s complexity. The text explores a variety of topics within the context of national security, including the constitutional separation of national security powers, constitutionally guaranteed liberties, international law, counterterrorism law, intelligence operations, and homeland security.
