Summary This collection of essays offers an in-depth analysis of the thorny dialectic between liberty and security in the context of terrorism. International terrorism has challenged the very foundations of the democratic societies and the protection of human rights. In this context, domestic and international institutions - and above all the Courts - were burdened with the significant mission to maintain the strenuous balance between liberty and security. These essays offer the critical views of scholars from several countries (France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, United States of America, Colombia, and Canada) on the responses of democracies to specific terrorism related issues
