Riassunto

This book examines the changes in the laws of civil liberties that have occurred under the Conservative government in Britain, and explores the extent to which legislation on the police, public order, terrorism, official secrecy, telephone tapping, and the security services has fundamentally altered the nature of the relationship between the individual and the State. Ewing and Gearty provide a legal analysis of these various changes and place them in their historical and political context. Offering an overview of the impact of "Thatcherism" on political liberty, their book is also an accurate guide to the various restrictions on freedom that are likely to be increasingly relevant in the 1990s.

It offers a legal analysis of the various changes, placing them in historial and political context to provide both an overview of the impact of "Thatcherism" on political liberty, and a guide to the restrictions on freedom that are likely to become relevant in the 1990s.
