Since the 90's and even more so since 9/11 antiterrorism has become one of the key factors of global geopolitics and political life. This book brings new elements and analysis that reveal to what extent the states' reaction to terrorism infringes the freedom and security of the people they claim to be protecting. Some methods legitimize the violation of human rights in the name of efficiency, threatening the very foundations of community living. Such perversion of democracy goes hand in hand with manipulation and disinformation methods that seek to weaken all forms of opposition, essential to the very notion of democracy. Appealing to a wide readership, this book is the work of over thirty European specialists on these issues ? professors (several of whom are members of the research programm « Changing Landscape of European Liberty and Security », conducted since 2004 by a network of european research centers) and journalists.
