Judicial Activism in an Age of Populism
This book explores the range of meanings attributed to the terms ‘judicial activism’ and ‘populism’ in contemporary times and examines the potential interplay between these two phenomena. Drawing upon various political examples, it discusses the implication of populist movements for democratic institutions, policies, and processes. The chapters in this volume examine the impact of populism on judicial decision-making in various socio-cultural contexts. The contributing authors explore the implications of populist beliefs, including those which promote anti-democratic perspectives, on the integrity, independence, and the role of the judiciary in a democratic society. This volume offers unique international perspectives on the concern that populist initiatives may be and continue to be a threat to democratic foundational values and principles. Judicial Activism in an Age of Populism will be a beneficial read for students of Politics, Sociology, Public Administration and Management, and Law and Society. It was originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of Human Rights.
Preventing Radicalisation and Terrorism in Europe
Within the general framework of the European TRIVALENT project, the comparative analysis presented here focuses, alongside policy measures taken at EU level, on counter-terrorism and counter-radicalisation policies implemented by five European countries; namely, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. These case studies with their peculiarities and differences offer insights into the role of long-term and structural factors in defining counter-terrorism and counter-radicalisation policies, and highlight the influence that specific occurrences can have. The volume analyses different types of public policies, including repressive, preventive, legal and administrative measures, together with the role of civil society in preventing and mitigating radicalisation processes. The book offers an updated and critical assessment of the main anti-terrorism and anti-radicalisation policies of the five aforementioned countries, and their strengths and weaknesses, identifying possible evolutionary lines and proposing a series of recommendations.
Terrorisme
Le terrorisme n'est pas neuf. Malgré la mobilisation internationale à la suite des attentats du 11 septembre 2001, de récentes violences terroristes ont montré l'urgence d'une analyse approfondie de ce phénomène. Les contributions multidisciplinaires de cet ouvrage permettent de mieux en cerner les caractéristiques. La notion de risque, le rôle des médias, les liens avec le trafic de drogue, la coopération internationale et la préservation des libertés publiques sont examinés pour donner un éclairage saisissant de l'activité terroriste. Terrorism is certainly not a new phenomenon. In spite of an international mobilisation following the attacks of 11 September, 2001, recent tar...
Defeating Jihadist Terrorism
Since the early 1990s, terrorism and its victims have increased exponentially. Without any action strategy or exit solution, through political and military incompetence, stupidity and ideological blindness, Western interventions have only contributed to its development. We eliminate terrorists, but not terrorism. The solution lies in a more holistic, more subtle, more intelligent and less dogmatic approach. Terrorism is not an ideology. It is a method that takes many forms, including jihadist terrorism. Each form of terrorism is fought with a specific strategy. Based on the original texts of jihadist strategists as well as on their own analyses of attacks in France, Belgium, Great Britain and the United States, Jacques Baud explains the reasons for Western failure. He uses the analyses of Western intelligence services to decipher the mechanisms of jihadist terrorism, in order to extract strategies of action likely to avoid it or to fight it effectively and durably.

Uitgaansvergunningen en penitentiair verlof: de deur op een kier. Permissions de sortie et congé pénitentiaire: la porte entrouverte
Uitgaansvergunningen en penitentiair verlof laten aan veroordeelden tot een vrijheidsstraf toe om – soms na vele jaren – voor het eerst de gevangenis te verlaten, de banden met significante anderen te versterken of terug op te bouwen en hun reclassering meer concreet vorm te geven. Het zijn de eerste en vaak cruciale stappen in de richting van invrijheidstelling. Hun belang staat in schril contrast met de weinige aandacht die ze krijgen. Zowel in termen van beleidsaandacht als qua onderzoek bleven de uitgaansvergunning en het penitentiair verlof tot hiertoe een donkere vlek in de strafuitvoering. Dit boek brengt daar verandering in. In dit verzamelwerk belichten professionals en onderzoe...
