However, are counter-terrorism laws in the Arab world formulated and enforced to protect or oppress? Colonialism, Neo-Colonialism, and Anti-Terrorism Law in the Arab World examines the relationship between Western influence and counter-terrorism law, focusing on the Arab world, which is, on the one hand, a hostile producer of terrorist organizations, and on the other, a leader in countering 'terrorism'. With case studies of Egypt and Tunisia, Alzubairi traces the colonial roots of the use of coercion and extra-legal measures to protect the ruling order, which are now justified in both the West and the Arab world in the name of counter-terrorism. Colonialism, Neo-Colonialism, and Anti-Terrorism Law in the Arab World provides important lessons for counter-terrorism, not just in these countries but also elsewhere in the world Notes Based on the author's thesis (doctoral - York University, Osgood Hall Law School, 2017) issued under title: The Role of Colonialism and Neo-Colonialism in Shaping Anti-Terrorism Law in Comparative and International Perspectives Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Terrorism -- Prevention -- Law and legislation -- Arab countries Terrorism -- Prevention -- Law and legislation -- Egypt Terrorism -- Prevention -- Law and legislation -- Tunisia Law -- Egypt -- British influences Law -- Tunisia -- French influences LAW -- Administrative Law & Regulatory Practice.
