Sovereignty in the Age of Global Terrorism

Myriam Feinberg, Ph.D. (2013), University of London, is Postdoctoral Fellow at the Minerva Centre for the Rule of Law under Extreme Conditions at the University of Haifa Faculty of Law and Department of Geography and Environmental Studies. She was previously Postdoctoral Fellow with the ERC-funded Global Trust project at Tel Aviv University and Visiting Lecturer at King’s College London. Her research focuses on issues of international organizations, terrorism, and State sovereignty'.

"Feinberg does not disentangle the web of legal complexities thrown up by the multilayered battle against the scourge of international terrorism, nor could she be expected to do so. But scholars, policy makers and interested lay readers will learn much from her coherent presentation of the manner in which states and international organizations have interacted to maximize their joint and separate efforts to combat global terrorism during the critical years examined in this book.”- Dr. Rachel Frid de Vries, Justice no. 59, 2017, pp. 54-55
