Abstract
h e likely conduct of the three arms of government in responding to
threats to national security – and the strengths and weaknesses possessed
by each in doing so – has been the subject of a considerable amount of academic
debate in the years since the terrorist attacks on the United States
in 2001. Although the question of how democracies can defeat an enemy
while still maintaining essential checks and balances on government is far
from a new one, it has certainly received sustained attention, frequently
enriched through use of comparative perspectives and experiences, in the
i rst decade of this century.
