RE: [A-List] Competing and collaborating imperialisms

[Ann Singleton <a.singleton@xxxxxxx>]

Dear All,
I'm writing to recommend this website, which is the work of  Statewatch.
http://www.statewatch.org/
In particular, you might be interested in the observatory on civil
liberties and rights in the EU and US post 11th September
http://www.statewatch.org/observatory2.htm
All the best
Ann

Statewatch is a non-profit-making voluntary group founded in 1991. It is
comprised of lawyers, academics, journalists, researchers and community
activists. Its European network of contributors is drawn from 12 countries.
Statewatch encourages the publication of investigative journalism and
critical research in the fields of the state, civil liberties and openness.
The Statewatch bulletin was launched in 1991 and is now in its 11th year of
publication. Coverage includes news, features and research sources on new
measures introduced by national governments and the EU institutions in
Brussels as well as reporting from the ground on the effect of policies and
state practices in the community.
The Statewatch website was launched in August 1995, from the outset it
included a free, searchable database. It now holds 26,000 items including
coverage from the bulletin.
In 1997 the Statewatch European Monitoring and Documentation Centre
(SEMDOC) was launched. SEMDOC has an extensive collection documents from
the Council of the European Union, the European Commission and the European
Parliament on justice and home affairs and civil liberties. The SEMDOC
website was launched in 1998 together with the Statewatch European Monitor.
In June 2000 Statewatch News online was launched and carries news and
features with extensive full-text background documentation to supplement
coverage in the bulletin. In January 2001 the Statewatch subscriber website
was launched which is accessible through an online subscription to bulletin
subscribers - it carries the current bulletin in "pdf" format and a
database of all coverage in the bulletin from 1991 to the current issue.
