Human Rights and National Security Post 9/11 [Schofer]

Abstract

This article seeks to examine the relationship between human rights and national security within the context of counter-terrorism legislation in the United States following 11 September 2001. Working from a constructivist point of view and using discourse analysis and public-opinion data, I aim to determine whether changes have been made to the right to privacy and the anti-torture norm under the administrations of presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
