Description
Panel: Terrorism, securitization and freedom of speech: reckoning with the global salience of counter-terrorism laws: communication law and policy.The panel offers global perspectives in relation to the interplay between counter-terrorism laws and civil liberties. Through case studies involving counter-terrorism laws of Australia, India, Peru, Portugal, Uganda, and the United States, the panel discusses how the discourse around counter-terrorism laws is intertwined with the politics of state securitization globally, and how the empowerment of state apparatuses, both in democratic and authoritarian contexts, is undermining journalism practice and citizen expression.
