Double-weighted statement
Mead’s book is a comprehensive 499-page (275,000 word) account of the regulation of protest, the first academic treatise in over twenty years, “the touchstone…for years to come” (review [2011] PL 658). There are very few in the Anglophone world with none in NZ, Australia or Canada. Its 40,000 word chapter analysing ECHR case-law could easily comprise a free-standing article. By contrast, David Feldman dedicates 78 pages in his 1100-page book on civil liberties. Organised around themes – direct action, access to land – alongside a primary doctrinal critique, it contains a host of socio-legal and inter-disciplinary insights from a wealth of sources.
