Dickson on Principles of Security Law: Text, Cases and Materials

A wonderful contribution to the discussion……Dickson has taken a valuable step towards advancing the law with this very informative book. I predict that Dickson on Principles of Security Law will appear on many bookshelves, with numerous tabs, sticky notes, and folded corners . - Tad J. Oelstrom, Director, National Security Program, Harvard University Dickson on Principles of Security Law is a very welcome addition to the bourgeoning literature on the legal regimes underpinning Ghanaian security praxis. Made up of text, cases and materials, it is the first and only book to bring together in one place, the scattered text and instruments dealing with Ghanaian security. The publication is a detailed magisterial work that strips the secrecy and undue confidentiality that has over decades shrouded these laws and made them subject to abuse, intimidation and misapplication. Being accessible to a wider readership, Dickson’s work will advance security governance and ultimately deepen democracy in Ghana. I have nothing but praise for this excellent book . - Dr. Kwesi Aning, Director, Faculty of Academic Affairs and Research, Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC)
