This study of the EU response to the 11 September 2001 attacks demonstrates how European counter-terrorism law strengthens state powers of coercion and control and weakens the rule of law. In this expanded edition a new Afterword examines mass surveillance in Europe and the implications for data privacy, the increasing court scrutiny of counter-terrorist finance measures, and policies that aim to prevent combatants from taking part in terrorism overseas. It asks where the limits of legality lie - and whether courts and parliaments can safeguard political freedom in the face of ongoing efforts to combat terrorism.

'. expertly analyses the principal strands of the EU's response - criminalisation, measures against terrorist financing, targeted sanctions, data surveillance and European Warrants. Unique in its range and its depth, this is the essential guide to EU counter-terrorism law'.
David Anderson QC, Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation

'. a comprehensive treatise on the European Union's tightening net of legal instruments aiming to constrain terrorism. presents the law within its political and philosophical context.'.
Christina Eckes, Public Law

'. impressively ahead of its time: coming before the Snowden revelations of quite how far counter-terrorism has been prepared to go, Murphy's book both prepares us for shocks like this and suggests a way that Europe can (and should) react'.
