Liberty and Security

This book delves into the universal human desire for liberty and security, and why so few actually achieve it in today's "neo-democratic" world. Gearty exposes the reality of vast inequalities and authoritarian regimes with regular elections, despite proclamations of human rights. He offers a manifesto for a better future, where liberty and security truly benefit everyone. Drawing on law, human rights, and political science, Gearty argues for a new vision of universal freedom that builds on the achievements of past democracies.
