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.
