Ep. 05 - Homeland Insecurity: On the Rise and Rise of Anti-Terrorism Laws

What is terrorism, and can we legislate against it? In episode 5 of the Ratio podcast, Professor Gerry Simpson speaks to Professor Conor Gearty KC on his 2024 book "Homeland Insecurity: The Rise and Rise of Global Anti-Terrorism Law." Professor Gearty challenges us to grapple with how 'terrorism' is politicised as a label. When did states begin to legislate against terrorism? What use - if any - does the 'terrorism' label serve in creating legislation to prevent political violence? This episode explores the racialised employment of terrorism in our contemporary world, and how anti-terrorism laws have impacted our perception of international conflict.

This episode was produced by Mohid Malik.
