This book provides a fresh, clear, and stimulating approach to civil liberties by tying the law and practice firmly to democratic and political rights. The author examines the key civil liberties of our democratic age: the right to vote; the rights to life, liberty and security of the person; the freedoms of thought, conscience, expression, association and assembly; and the right of access to information, and discusses the contemporary challenges that civil liberties face, such as those of globalization and the war on terror.
This title traces the origin of the term, civil liberties, and what it has come to mean today. The author argues that the protection of civil liberties is a vital front in the struggle to preserve political freedom and that a proper understanding of and commitment to civil liberties has never been more important.
