This monograph explores the constitutional and legal dilemmas of state surveillance in the age of global terrorism. The text provides a comparative constitutional analysis of counter-terrorism policies and surveillance mechanisms implemented by democratic states in response to evolving security threats.It critically assesses how national security imperatives intersect with civil liberties, privacy rights, and the rule of law, focusing on constitutional safeguards, judicial oversight, and accountability mechanisms. The volume draws on case studies from various jurisdictions to highlight tensions between collective safety and individual freedom, addressing the constitutional legitimacy of surveillance in democratic societies.Through comparative inquiry, the book contributes to a deeper understanding of how constitutional frameworks adapt to the challenges of terrorism, particularly in relation to the protection of human rights, proportionality in state response, and the erosion of privacy through advanced monitoring technologies.due to its critical examination of state surveillance and constitutional responses to terrorism. It aligns with GRACE’s focus on counterterrorism, peace, and human rights, offering a nuanced understanding of how democratic states strive to balance freedom and security. Key contributions to GRACE objectives include: Exploring constitutional responses to modern terrorism within democratic legal systems. Promoting accountability and transparency in state-led counterterrorism measures. Offering a comparative framework for understanding the limits of surveillance powers. Encouraging scholarly debate on peaceful governance and human rights protection amid security concerns. This book serves as a vital academic source for policymakers, legal scholars, and researchers analyzing the intersection of constitutionalism, security, and civil rights in the fight against terrorism.
