註釋
The End of the Liberal State addresses two specific questions: What, if anything, has changed so radically in the aftermath of 9/11 that it merits such a wide-scale change to security questions? What is the legacy that the 'West' hopes to hand over as China, India, Brazil and Nigeria lead the 'non-Western' world into prominence in global society as economic power shifts towards them? Professor Castellino reviews the position of the liberal state in international society pre-2001; the events of 11 September 2001 and their immediate aftermath; and the current position of the liberal state both abroad and in the UK. He outlines the reasons why he believes the terrorists are winning, and offers a set of strategies that could reverse the trend - and by so doing ensure a strong legacy that could act as a bulwark to guard against the erosion of the values of democracy and human rights that have developed in Europe since the Enlightenment era
