反恐法律往往是以仓促、被动和重复的方式制定的，将立法机构的审议、批评和民主职能边缘化，导致后来被证明是违宪的结果，并对公共安全产生反作用。本文运用政治社会学的方法，对反恐立法的实践进行了分析和理论化。通过英国的例子，文章认为反恐立法加剧了议会领域现有的不平等权力关系，并向立法者呈现了一个令人费解的两难境地，即立法安全政治涉及的真正利害关系。
Counterterrorist law is all too often made in a rushed, reactive, and repetitious way, marginalizing the deliberative, critical, and democratic functions of legislatures and leading to outcomes that later prove to be unconstitutional and counter-productive for public security. Using a political sociology approach, the article offers an analysis and theorisation of the practice of counterterrorist lawmaking. Through the UK example, the article argues that counterterrorist lawmaking compounds the existing unequal power relationships of the parliamentary field, and presents legislators with an inscrutable dilemma about the true stakes involved in legislative security politics.
