This edited collection explores the topic of constitutionalism across borders in the struggle against terrorism, analyzing how constitutional rules and principles relevant in the field of counter-terrorism move across borders. Various chapters underline how constitution-like norms consolidate at the level of international and supranational organizations as a limit to the exercise of public power in the field of counter-terrorism policy, especially counter-terrorism financing. Other chapters examine the extraterritorial application of constitutional rights and the migration of constitutional norms - or anti-constitutional practices - from one state to another. Still others consider how transnational cooperation between states in areas such as intelligence gathering and data sharing may call for updating domestic constitutional law rules or for new international law compacts entrenching rights across borders. What emerges is a picture of the complex interplay of constitutional law, international law, criminal law and the law of war, creating webs of norms and regulations that apply in the struggle against terrorism conducted across increasingly porous borders.The book will be of particular interest to academics and graduate or post-graduate students working in the fields of constitutional law, international law, human rights, comparative law and national security law. It may also be of interest to practitioners concerned with national security, counterterrorism, and related questions of individual rights.Contributors: O. Bassok, D. Cole, K. Cooper, J.

’Just as current terrorism threats permeate state borders, legal responses to them should as well. Bringing together and making a significant contribution to comparative constitutionalism, international law, and the anti-terrorism law, this book perfectly exemplifies the benefits of transmitting legal concepts and ideas across geographical and conceptual borders - between differing national systems, as well as in manners that open international law and constitutional law to one another. It is a wonderful source for studying and understanding anti-terrorism law, and at the same time an inspiration to those thinking about the tension between globalized and contextualized law.’
