Summary

Continuing the analysis in Chapter 9, this chapter considers how changing international security constellations have contributed to the remilitarization of democracy. It argues that international antiterror programmes have destabilized the foundations of constitutional law. On one hand, such policies have redefined national security objectives, such that the negotiated component of constitutional law is weakened. On the other hand, such policies have fundamentally altered the role of international human rights law in global society. As a result, states have been able to legitimate more directly militarized actions towards their own populations and towards the populations of other states.
