Böcker i Law, Meaning & Violence-serien

Discusses the dilemmas of the relationship between the liberal state and capital punishment

The terrorist attacks of 9/11, followed by the expose of torture in US detainment camps, dampened hopes for a peaceful world in the 21st century and challenged the belief that humanity was on a course of progress toward rational deliberation, the rule of law, and human rights. This book investigates the reasons for the resort to violence.
