Title ProperInternational terrorism and counterterrorist legislation
Other Title Informationthe case study of post-9/11 Northern Ireland
LanguageENG
AuthorBlackbourn, Jessie
Publication2009.
Summary / Abstract (Note)Since September 11, 2001 the threat from international terrorism has led to a greatly increased programme of counterterrorism legislation from the British government, yet it has contradictorily introduced legislation aimed at normalizing society in Northern Ireland. Prime Minister Tony Blair led the way in proclaiming differences between terrorism related to Northern Ireland and terrorism that is international in scope in order to create and enact a two-tier system of terrorism legislation in the United Kingdom. This article will examine Blair's decade in power and his role in distinguishing between, and legislating differently for, the two forms of terrorism.
