Tensions between homeland security and civil rights post september 11
Keywords:
The United States, Homeland security, Terrorism, George W. Bush, Civil rightsAbstract
The tensions between institutions and security policies and population civil rights are constitutive of the political dynamics of any democracy. This paper discusses a part of the academic literature that addressed the tensions between civil rights and homeland security policies of both President George W. Bush mandates, in order to map out and systematize the types of analysis adopted to deal with the theme. Four types of studies are revised: the analyses that adopt one of the polarized sides of the tension between security and civil rights, those which deal with the theme from the public policies’ perspective, those that analyze the problem from a constitutional perspective, and those which propose a positivist and analytical focus in analyzing the relationship between homeland security and civil rights post September 11.
