This book presents the first systematic and comprehensive attempt by legal scholars to conceptualize the theory of emergency powers combining post-September 11 developments with more general theoretical historical and comparative perspectives. The authors examine the interface between law and violent crises through history and across jurisdictions bringing together insights gleaned from the Roman republic and Jewish law through to the initial responses to the July 2005 attacks in London. The book examines three unique models of emergency powers that are used to offer a novel conceptualization of emergency regimes giving a coherent insight into law s interface with and regulation of crisis and a distinctive means to evaluate the legal options open to states for dealing with crises. Particular attention is given to the interface between international law and regulatory mechanisms and emergency powers as a key element of the contemporary political response to violent crises. fionnuala ní aoláin Professor of Law and Associate Director of the Transitional Justice Institute at the University of Ulster and Dorsey Whitney Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota Law School. oren gross Irving Younger Professor of Law and Director Minnesota Center for Legal Studies at the University of Minnesota Law .
