This trend accelerated in the aftermath of 9\/11 and subsequent terrorist attacks in Europe. In \u003ci\u003eFrontiers of Fear\u003c\/i\u003e, Ariane Chebel d'Appollonia raises two central questions with profound consequences for national security and immigration policy: First, does the securitization of immigration issues actually contribute to the enhancement of internal security? Second, does the use of counterterrorist measures address such immigration issues as the increasing number of illegal immigrants, the resilience of ethnic tensions, and the emergence of homegrown radicalization?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChebel d'Appollonia questions the main assumptions that inform political agendas in the United States and throughout Europe, analyzing implementation and evaluating the effectiveness of policies in terms of their stated objectives. She argues that the new security-based immigration regime has proven ineffective in achieving its prescribed goals and even aggravated the problems it was supposed to solve: A security\/insecurity cycle has been created that results in less security and less democracy. The excesses of securitization have harmed both immigration and counterterrorist policies and seriously damaged the delicate balance between security and respect for civil liberties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ariane Chebel d'Appollonia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801477743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801477744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2013","brand":"Ariane Chebel d'Appollonia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425069089023,"sku":"9780801477744","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_542cd210-353f-41fd-a217-e0435b2fc263.jpg?v=1761536795","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frontiers-of-fear-ariane-chebel-dappollonia-9780801477744","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
