LSE 02/11/2024 – How did the ‘‘war on terror’’ bed down so easily? Why have seemingly endless anti-terrorism laws been tolerated by our supposedly liberal and democratic society? Professor Conor Gearty explores the answers from his latest book, Homeland Insecurity. He locates anti-terrorism laws in their historical, international and political contexts – starting with colonialism, taking off with the Cold War, and coming of age with Israel’s successful presentation of Palestine as a crisis of global terror. Conor Gearty is Professor of Human Rights Law at LSE Law School.
