9780367670610: Criminalizing Dissent

Synopsis

While liberal-democratic states like America, Britain and Australia claim to value freedom of expression and the right to dissent, they have always actually criminalized dissent. The book highlights the mix of fear and delusion in play when states privilege security to protect an imagined 'political order' from difference and disagreement.
