• A SZABADSÁG ÉS BIZTONSÁG VÁLTOZÓ ÖSSZKÉPE EURÓPÁBAN : A Challange-projekt eredményeiről szóló időközi beszámoló

  2007. július 2.
  A Challange-projekt a jelenlegi liberális kormányok antiliberális joggyakorlatáról alkotott, széles körben elterjedt nézetekre reagál. E gyakorlatok főként a globális mértékben egyre inkább elterjedő biztonság megbomlásból származnak, olyan jelenségekből, melyek széles körben úgy értelmezhetők, mint kötelező intézkedések a hatóságok részéről, következésképpen, mint tulajdonképpeni új korlátok a törvény által biztosított szabadság és az egyén ártatlanságának vélelmének ellenében. A kutats célja olyan ellentmondások vizsgálata, amelyeket azon állítások idéznek elő, miszerint „a biztonság az első számú szabadságjog», ezért új egyensúlyt kell kialakítani, hogy felmérhessük korunk globális veszélyeinek széles skáláját. A projekt első számú tárgya azon irányelvek, illetve veszélyre és megelőzésre hivatkozva kialakított korlátozó intézkedések vizsgálata, amelyek a radikálisan átalakuló környezetben jönnek létre, továbbá ezen intézkedések hatásának vizsgálata a polgári szabadságjogokra, politikai jogokra, illetve a társadalmi kohézióra.
