Counter-terrorism Cooperation

Lavallee, Chantal; Leonard, Sarah; Kaunert, Christian

Abstract

This chapter examines how the EU has attempted to develop counter-terrorism cooperation with its Eastern and Southern partners and which results it has achieved in practice. It starts by locating counter-terrorism in the broader context of the EU’s security policies. It then examines counter-terrorism cooperation between the EU and its neighbours. Having shown that such cooperation has hitherto remained limited to a large extent, it examines the obstacles to its development before offering some conclusions. For the purposes of this chapter, counter-terrorism is understood as a broad policy area that comprises a range of responses across various governmental departments (Keohane 2005: 2-3), including policing, criminal justice, border controls, the freezing of financial assets, intelligence gathering and, more recently, anti-radicalisation measures.
