Imbued with healthy doses of realism and humility, the volume is an apt tribute to a towering figure on the academic counterterrorism scene which he has done so much to build.

Professor Clive Walker ... deserves the tribute of this highly informed and important book. Its last chapter, his own retrospective, is absolutely required reading. The other chapters inform and sometimes provoke, covering the entire range of counter-terrorism issues, including strategy, definitions and governance, exclusion, terrorist speech and miscarriages of justice. That such an international and stellar group of authors has contributed is its own tribute. All who are interested in the subject must read this book.

In this rich collection, the towering contribution of Professor Clive Walker to the intersecting fields of counter-terrorism, miscarriages of justice and civil liberties is not only acknowledged and celebrated, but supplies the bedrock for a thoroughly contemporary examination of the challenges in each. Walker’s own research has always been distinguished by his deep appreciation of history and context, so it should not surprise that these chapters benefit from a similar engagement with the operation of political and legal institutions, intelligence agencies and the police. There are no easy answers to the questions which Walker has asked over his career – but this collection in his honour illuminates the complexity of those questions in ways that will inform, stimulate and guide all who read it.

Professor Clive Walker is one of the greatest legal scholars of our time. His work on counterterrorist law and policy has shaped the field not just in Ireland and the United Kingdom, but in Australia, Canada, the United States, and across the globe. This festschrift brings together some of the leading scholars who have been part of this conversation, reading like a who’s who of counterterrorist law. In so doing, it is itself an important contribution to the continued challenges of responding to terrorism while recognizing the fundamental importance of individual rights, justice, and the rule of law.
