Book Synopsis EU Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence by : Javier Argomaniz
Download or read book EU Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence written by Javier Argomaniz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Treaty on the European Union stipulates that one of the key objectives of the Union is to provide citizens with a high level of safety within an Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. Given that the fight against terrorism is a prominent aspect of this general objective, it is remarkable that, in spite of its political relevance and decade-long history, it has only relatively recently received due attention in the academic community. Yet an analysis of the successes and failures of the EU's involvement in this field is imperative and this is a particularly pertinent moment to take stock of progress. The goal of this book is therefore to look back at the post-9/11 period and answer the question of whether, when it comes to the measures taken to combat terrorism following these attacks, the EU has lived up to the promise made in its founding treaties. In pursuing this goal, this volume presents the views of leading experts casting a critical eye over the EU's performance, recognising achievements but also being suitably critical when the realities did not match the European rhetoric. In doing this, the book makes a significant contribution not only to the scholarly investigation of European Union policies, but also to the study of counter-terrorism in general. This book was published as a special issue of Intelligence and National Security.
Book Synopsis EU Counter-terrorism's Gradual Institutionalisation: Information-sharing and Cooperation in Law Enforcement and Intelligence Post-2015 by : Christine Andreeva
Download or read book EU Counter-terrorism's Gradual Institutionalisation: Information-sharing and Cooperation in Law Enforcement and Intelligence Post-2015 written by Christine Andreeva and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU counter-terrorism is a hybrid policy that, despite its incremental, exogenous-shock-driven integration, has evolved from de facto intergovernmental governance to gradually heading towards harmonisation. As terrorism is not an EU competence, policy-making in the area was for many years short-term and reactive instead of driven by strategically coordinated prevention and response. Despite the bodies and mechanisms in place to facilitate information-sharing and operational cooperation, until 2015 the latter were lacking to such an extent as to cause gaps in governance and operational inefficiency, including decreased capacity for prevention and response. This study focuses on the necessity, unparalleled in any other EU policy area, for operational cross-border cooperation and information exchange. This text explores the aftermath of two critical junctures in EU counter-terrorism brought about by two sets of terrorist attacks - in Madrid (2004) and London (2005), as well as in Paris (November 2015) and Brussels (2016). This analysis is carried out through the lens of a dual theoretical framework - historical institutionalism (HI) and constructivist institutionalism (CI) - which is novel to the field of EU counter-terrorism, wherein HI has previously been applied to the policy's scholarly analysis, however a combination of the two theoretical branches has not been utilised in this area thus far. This thesis analyses the consequences of these junctures for the development of EU counter-terrorism by enquiring into the conditions and circumstances for institutionalisation of the policy and examining its added value to national efforts. The study demonstrates the increased efficiency of cross-border and inter-agency coordination in EU counter-terrorism since 2015 due to improved institutional design and legislative frameworks, leading to further policy integration.
Book Synopsis The Evolution of EU Counter-terrorism by : Raphael Bossong
Download or read book The Evolution of EU Counter-terrorism written by Raphael Bossong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the evolution of the EU’s fight against terrorism from the late 1970s until the end of the first decade after 9/11. This historical analysis covers both EU-internal and international counterterrorism policies and features an in-depth account of the EU’s reaction to the terrorist incidents in New York, Madrid and London. In the first few weeks after these incidents, the EU mobilised a complex but also incoherent set of policy measures, which significantly influenced the course of European security over the years. From a theoretical perspective, this volume argues that context-specific factors dominated over functionalist considerations in the EU’s fight against terrorism. Building on frameworks from public policy analysis, the author demonstrates that EU institutions played a critical role as policy entrepreneurs, while the many security measures were chosen on the basis of timing rather than significance. Such short-term political dynamics also explain the implementation deficits and persistent imbalances in the EU’s counterterrorism policy; limitations which still hinder its fight against international terrorism. This book will be of much interest to students of EU policy, counter-terrorism, European security, public administration, foreign policy, and IR in general.

Book Synopsis Counter-Terrorism Networks in the European Union by : Claudia Hillebrand
Download or read book Counter-Terrorism Networks in the European Union written by Claudia Hillebrand and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-10-03 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counter-Terrorism Networks in the European Union: Maintaining Democratic Legitimacy after 9/11 presents a model of democratic legitimacy for within international counter-terrorism co-operation. Exploring the current practices of European Union (EU) counter-terrorism policing, developed after 9/11, it highlights the current significant challenges to democratic legitimacy and seeks to present tools and solutions which ensure 'democratic' counter-terrorism actions and the protection of human rights. Counter-terrorism policing is now a global concern, with co-operation between security authorities of different countries a crucial feature in the fight to prevent terrorism and extremism. Yet, given the emphasis on pre-emption, this type of policing tends to interfere to a far greater extent with the rights of the individual than traditional policing. This book scrutinises the current focus of enhanced communication between counter-terrorist associates at member-state and EU levels within Europe, alongside analysis of just how far the traditional, protective mechanisms of accountability and oversight are managing to keep up with this development. It proposes that current forms of counter-terrorism policing within the EU should be understood as networks - sets of expert institutional nodes or individual agents, from at least two countries - that are interconnected in order to authorize and provide security with regard to counter-terrorism, using the European Police Office (Europol) as a key example.
Book Synopsis Cultures of Counterterrorism by : Silvia D'Amato
Download or read book Cultures of Counterterrorism written by Silvia D'Amato and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates counterterrorism responses from a strategic-culturalist perspective, focusing on France and Italy in the post-9/11 era. Terrorism occupies a predominant space within contemporary political debate across all European countries. Recent attacks in Europe have raised many questions about the status of counterterrorism structures within European countries, revealing a wide range of practical as well as discursive security implications. This work provides an original contribution to the understanding of counterterrorism by asking how values, norms, and a shared sense of identity matter in policy dynamics. It explores and assesses which cultural elements are relevant for the fight against terrorism and investigates the impact which these elements can have on practical approaches to terrorism. Despite the current attention to terrorist attacks in Europe, the cases of France and Italy in counterterrorism affairs are particularly overlooked by the existing literature; this book analyses, questions, and examines the strategy of these two countries through the instruments offered by the culturalist approaches to strategy. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism studies, discourse analysis, European politics, security studies, and international relations in general.
Book Synopsis EU Counterterrorism Policy by : Oldrich Bures
Download or read book EU Counterterrorism Policy written by Oldrich Bures and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there is a vast body of literature covering the ongoing debates concerning the novelty and gravity of the contemporary terrorist threat, as well as the most appropriate response to it, few authors have thus far analysed the complex set of counterterrorism measures that both the individual Member States and the European Union (EU) have attempted to develop. This volume offers a critical analysis of the measures the European Union has taken to combat terrorism and how, in a number of key areas, EU counterterrorism policy is more of a paper tiger than an effective counterterrorism device. Several legal EU counterterrorism instruments have not been properly implemented at the national level and questions have been raised regarding their effectiveness, appropriateness, and proportionality. The capabilities of EU agencies in the area of counterterrorism remain rather weak and the EU Counterterrorism Coordinator does not have any real powers apart from persuasion. However, this does not mean that EU level action cannot offer any value-added in the fight against terrorism. There are several areas where the EU can provide genuine value-added in the fight against terrorism due to the transnational nature of the contemporary terrorist threat and the nature of a borderless Europe.

Book Synopsis The Evolution of Counter-Terrorism Since 9/11 by : Thomas Renard
Download or read book The Evolution of Counter-Terrorism Since 9/11 written by Thomas Renard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the evolution of counter-terrorism (CT) policies in liberal democracies since 2001, with a specific focus on the case of Belgium. What is counter-terrorism (CT)? While the answer to this question may seem self-evident, it has become quite complicated to define the contours of a field that has expanded dramatically in the two decades since the 9/11 attacks. The development of "softer" policies, dealing with the prevention of radicalisation, has blurred the limits of CT. Through the use of public policy theory and an in-depth case study on Belgium, the book identifies the key factors influencing CT policy-making, both domestically and internationally, and offers an explanation for the development of a more comprehensive CT agenda across Europe. It provides an innovative theoretical approach and is also based on extensive interviews with key counter-terrorism officials and analysis of key policy documents. The book concludes by identifying some key drivers of change and offers an embryonic theory of CT policy-making. The book will be of much interest to students and practitioners of counter-terrorism, radicalisation, European politics and security studies.

Book Synopsis Protecting Individual Privacy in the Struggle Against Terrorists by : National Research Council
Download or read book Protecting Individual Privacy in the Struggle Against Terrorists written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-10-26 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All U.S. agencies with counterterrorism programs that collect or "mine" personal data-such as phone records or Web sites visited-should be required to evaluate the programs' effectiveness, lawfulness, and impacts on privacy. A framework is offered that agencies can use to evaluate such information-based programs, both classified and unclassified. The book urges Congress to re-examine existing privacy law to assess how privacy can be protected in current and future programs and recommends that any individuals harmed by violations of privacy be given a meaningful form of redress. Two specific technologies are examined: data mining and behavioral surveillance. Regarding data mining, the book concludes that although these methods have been useful in the private sector for spotting consumer fraud, they are less helpful for counterterrorism because so little is known about what patterns indicate terrorist activity. Regarding behavioral surveillance in a counterterrorist context, the book concludes that although research and development on certain aspects of this topic are warranted, there is no scientific consensus on whether these techniques are ready for operational use at all in counterterrorism.
Book Synopsis Collective Securitization and Crisification of EU Policy Change by : Christian Kaunert
Download or read book Collective Securitization and Crisification of EU Policy Change written by Christian Kaunert and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the first attempt to evaluate the first two decades of the EU counterterrorism policy. It aims to assess the collective securitization process in EU counterterrorism, evaluating this as a process between a construction of security threats and the development of supranational governance through crisification. Compared to the lack of shared perception of the terrorist threat and the virtual absence of counterterrorism cooperation amongst European states in the 1970s and 1980s, the existence of EU-wide debates, legislative instruments and practical cooperation nowadays is particularly remarkable. The chapters in this volume explore this change and seek to explain it by drawing upon the concept of ‘collective securitization’. The book posits that EU counterterrorism needs to be analysed as a process driven by collective securitization as part of an ongoing process of crisification that leads to increased supranational governance. The book is both extremely relevant and timely for readers outside the area of research for several reasons. First of all, EU counterterrorism is often argued to be at the forefront of the EU’s response to new security threats. The ‘EU acquis’ on the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) has grown significantly over the last years. Consequently, it is crucial and very timely to examine EU counterterrorism – exactly 20 years after the first significant measures were adopted in the wake of 9/11. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Global Affairs.
Book Synopsis Counter-Terrorism and Human Rights in the Case Law of the European Court of Human Rights by : Ana Salinas de Frias
Download or read book Counter-Terrorism and Human Rights in the Case Law of the European Court of Human Rights written by Ana Salinas de Frias and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrorism has become one of the major threats facing both states and the international community, in particular after the terrorist attacks in the United States, Madrid and London, which revealed a whole new scale and dimension of the phenomenon. An effective response is absolutely necessary; this response, however, cannot undermine democracy, human rights, the rule of law or the supreme values inherent to these principles.There is no universally agreed definition of "terrorism", nor is there an international Jurisdiction before which the perpetrators of terrorist crimes can be brought to account. The European Court of Human Rights is the first international Jurisdiction to deal with such a phenomenon. For many decades and through more than four hundred cases, it has elaborated a clear, integrated and articulated body of case law on responses to terrorism from a human rights and rule of law perspective. Thus, this is a handbook on counter-terrorism with a special focus on due respect for human rights and rule of law.This book compiles the doctrine laid down by the European Court of Human Rights in this field with a view to facilitating the task of adjudicators, legal officers, lawyers, international IGOs, NGOs, policy makers, researchers, victims and all those committed to fighting this scourge. The book presents a careful analysis of this body of case law and the general principles applicable to the fight against terrorism resulting from each particular case. It also includes a compendium of the main cases dealt with by the Strasbourg Court in this field and will prove to be a most useful guiding tool in the sensitive area of counter-terrorism and human rights.
