This book provides a fresh, clear, and stimulating approach to civil liberties by tying the law and practice firmly to democratic and political rights. The author examines the key civil liberties of our democratic age:-
the right to vote;
the rights to life, liberty and security of the person;
the freedoms of thought, conscience, expression, association and assembly;
the right of access to information;
and discusses the contemporary challenges that civil liberties face, such as those of globalisation and the war on terror.
