Overview
Across the world, terrorist attacks have triggered a steep increase in security-related laws and measures. To prevent terrorism as early as possible, states have introduced limitations on freedom of speech, curbs on financial and other support and have resorted to revoking nationalities. How proportionate and legitimate are these measures? Are they effective? Our renowned summer programme will bring you inspiring lectures by leading experts in the field, interactive sessions, study visits, group discussions (Chatham House Rules), panel presentations and a great network in the field.
