Review
'Finn advances his argument not only persuasively and with great clarity but also with passion.' Times Higher Education Supplement
'Finn's three-part study is a particularly worthy contribution to the quest for solutions within the liberal/analytical tradition. In his case studies the author shows not only considerable sensitivity to the historical and sociological dimensions but a remarkably comprehensive grasp of a wealth of relevant material as well ... this book is a considerable achievement and constitutes a significant contribution to an important debate. It should be required reading for anyone interested in emergency powers, and particularly the constitutional and comparative issues.' Steven Greer, University of Bristol, Northern Ireland Legal Quarterly, Vol. 43, No. 1, Spring 1992
`well-made study' Parliamentary Affairs
Synopsis
This timely book examines the ways in which western democracies have attempted to contain domestic political terrorism. It is the first broadly comparative analysis of anti-terrorist laws, focusing on the preventative measures enacted by constitutional governments in Britain and Germany to deter terrorist acts.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1. In this compelling study, which unites the fields of constitutional theory and comparative politics, John E. Finn examines how the efforts of two western liberal democracies, the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany, to cope with domestic terrorism threatens their constitutional integrity. Finn argues first that widespread political violence challenges the presuppositions of constitutional authority in any liberal democracy, namely that reason and deliberation, and not passion or will, can be the basis of political community. Terrorism therefore constitutes both a specific type of constitutional emergency and a challenge to the more general enterprise of constitutional maintenance. He then proceeds to review the efforts of the United Kingdom and Germany to control political violence through emergency legislation, and considers to what extent such measures comport with the demands of constitutionalism and the rule of law.
