Beskrivelse
Contemporary terrorism is a global phenomenon requiring a globalized response. In this book Peter Romaniuk aims to assess to what extent states seek multilateral responses to the threats they face from terrorists. Providing a concise history and a clear discussion of current patterns of counter-terrorist co-operation, this book:
analyses a wide spectrum of institutions from the United Nations and its various bodies to military, intelligence and law enforcement agenciesexplains the full range of cooperative counter-terrorist activities and the patterns across them, from the use of intelligence and military force to criminal law measures, financial controls and diplomacyexamines under what conditions states cooperate to suppress terrorismevaluates how existing international institutions been affected by the US-led "global war on terror," launched after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.The book contests that the whilst there are several notable examples of successful counterterrorism cooperation, past and present, this work suggests that the broader trend can only be understood if we accept that across the domains of counter-terrorism policy, cooperation often resembles a competition for influence over outcomes.
Multilateral Counter-terrorism is an essential resource for all students and scholars of international politics, criminology and terrorism studies.
