Terrorism and the balance between freedom and security

Focusing on the impact of post-September 11 terrorism on civil liberties, this seminar paper analyzes the balance between individual freedoms and national security in Germany. It examines how perceptions of terrorism have shifted and identifies specific civil liberties that have been affected. The author advocates for increased involvement of social scientists in addressing the challenges posed by security measures that restrict freedoms, while also providing insights into the future dynamics of this crucial balance.
