In most countries, the suppression and prevention
of terrorism have become a topic of intense debate. Many people are increasingly
worried about excessive state interference in civil liberties in the name of
protecting public security. The purpose of this book is to analyze whether and to
what extent Germany and China provide their citizens with adequate human rights
protection in their fight against terrorism. The book also aims to provide new
perspectives for improving Germany’s existing anti-terror legislation and, more
importantly, to offer constructive recommendations for the making of anti-terror laws
in China.
