Banning them, securing us? : terrorism, parliament and the ritual of proscription / Lee Jarvis, Tim Legrand.
By: Jarvis, Lee [author.]
Contributor(s): Legrand, Timothy [author.]Publisher: Manchester : Manchester University Press, 2020Description: xi, 242 pagesContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781526144928Subject(s): Great Britain. Parliament | Terrorist organizations -- Great Britain -- History -- 21st century | Proscription -- Great Britain -- History -- 21st century | National security -- Great Britain -- History -- 21st century | Terrorism -- Prevention -- Government policy -- Great Britain | Terrorism -- Prevention -- Law and legislation -- Great BritainDDC classification: 363.325 Summary: "Banning them, securing us? explores the proscribing - or banning - of terrorist organisations within the United Kingdom across a period of twenty years. The process of banning specific organisations, Jarvis and Legrand argue, is as much a ritualistic performance of liberal democracy as it is a technique for increasing national security from the threat posed by terrorism. Characterised by a repetitive script, an established cast of characters and a predictable outcome, this ritual provides an important contribution to the construction of Britain as a liberal, democratic, moderate space. It does so, paradoxically, through extending the reach of a power that has limited political or judicial oversight and considerable implications for rights, freedoms and political participation. Offering a discursive analysis of all British Parliamentary debates on the banning of terrorist organisations since the introduction of Britain's current proscription regime in 2000, this book provides the first sustained treatment of this counter-terrorism power in the United Kingdom as well as in related regimes across the world."-- Taken from back cover.
