Description
Fundamental shifts in the powers of the state and the rights of populations have accelerated since the globalized response to 9/11. These shifts have created effects that spread beyond borders and operate in new yet under-conceptualized space. Although these changed practices were said to be in response to exceptional circumstances — the response to terrorism — they have become increasingly settled into an altered baseline norm. The participants in this roundtable will explore the inter\national implications of exceptional legal efforts to protect states’ domestic space in the realm of security. With diverse experiences from the legal, academic, and practitioner sectors, this roundtable will illustrate how the distinctions between international and domestic law are falling away in the realm of security and in particular in the responses to terrorism and will explore the implications of this dramatic shift in the normative order.
