This new edition of the Blackstone's Guide to the Anti-Terrorism Legislation provides expert explanations and assessments of the UK anti-terrorism legislation. It offers comprehensive and critical guidance on interpretation, impact in practice, and justifiability. The core instruments under scrutiny include: the Terrorism Act 2000, Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, Terrorism Act 2006, Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019, Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023, and Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025. Key extracts from these instruments are included in the appendices. The book opens with chapters examining terrorism strategies and definitions, curtailment of expression, including on the internet, and bans on organisations. Focus shifts to counter-terrorist policing and investigatory powers, terrorist offences, economic sanctions and other personal restrictions. The closing chapters consider protective security with reference to dangerous activities, vulnerable locations, and property and events open to the public, special variants in Northern Ireland such as non-jury trials, and consideration of review and accountability mechanisms. Analysis is provided in the context of the reports from review bodies, including the Independent Reviewers of Terrorism Legislation and UK Parliament, as well as academic commentaries. This analysis highlights important case-law, especially relating to the jurisprudence of human rights, and explores the impacts, relying upon statistical data, dialogues with professionals, and analysis of official claims. The Blackstone's Guide Series delivers concise and accessible books covering the latest legislative changes and amendments. They offer expert commentary by leading names on the effects, extent and scope of the legislation, plus a full copy of the Act itself. They provide a cost-effective solution to key information needs and are the perfect companion for any practitioner needing to get up to speed with the latest changes.

Permanent States of Emergency and the Rule of Law

Constitutions in an Age of Crisis

Permanent States of Emergency and the Rule of Law explores the impact that oxymoronic ‘permanent’ states of emergency have on the validity and effectiveness of constitutional norms and, ultimately, constituent power. It challenges the idea that many constitutional orders are facing permanent states of emergency due to the ‘objective nature’ of threats facing modern states today, arguing instead that the nature of a threat depends upon the subjective assessment of the decision-maker. In light of this, it further argues that robust judicial scrutiny and review of these decisions is required to ensure that the temporariness of the emergency is a legal question and that the validity of constitutional norms is not undermined by their perpetual suspension. It does this by way of a narrower conception of the rule of law than standard accounts in favour of judicial review of emergency powers in the literature, which tend to be based on the normative value of human rights. In so doing it seeks to refute the fundamental constitutional challenge posed by Carl Schmitt: that all state power cannot be constrained by law.

Archaeology and Geography of Ancient Transcaucasian Societies, Volume I

The Foundations of Research and Regional Survey in the Tsaghkahovit Plain, Armenia

Until recently, the South Caucasus was a virtual /terra/ /incognita/ on Western archaeological maps of southwest Asia. The conspicuous absence of marked places, of site names, toponyms, and topography gave the impression of a region distant, unknown, and vacant. The Joint American-Armenian Project for the Archaeology and Geography of Ancient Transcaucasian Societies (Project ArAGATS) was founded in 1998 to explore this terrain. Our investigations were guided by two overarching goals: to illuminate the social and political transformations central to the regions unique (pre)history and to explore the broader intellectual implications of collaboration between the rich archaeological traditions of Armenia (former U.S.S.R.) and the United States. This volume provides the first encompassing report on the ongoing studies of Project ArAGATS, detailing the general context of contemporary archaeological research in the South Caucasus as well as the specific context of our regional investigations in the Tsaghkahovit Plain of central Armenia. The book opens with detailed examinations of the history of archaeology in the South Caucasus, the theoretical problems that currently orient archaeological research, and a comprehensive reevaluation of the material bases for regional chronology and periodization. The work then provides the complete results of our regional investigations in the Tsaghkahovit Plain, including the findings of the first systematic pedestrian survey ever conducted in the Caucasus. Thanks to the results presented in this volume, and Project ArAGATSs ongoing excavations in the area, the Tsaghkahovit Plain is today the best known archaeological region in the South Caucasus. The present volume thus provides archaeologists with both an orientation to the prehistory of the South Caucasus and the complete findings of the first phase of Project ArAGATSs field investigations.
