It focuses on the growth of the EU as a global counter-terrorism actor, from it having almost no role in 2001 to becoming a significantly greater force in recent years. Analysing one of the most important policy areas of European integration, authors Christian Kaunert, Alex MacKenzie and Sarah Leonard consider the key question of why the EU may have become a global actor in counter-terrorism. The authors then develop a unique theoretical approach in the form of actorness and collective securitization, which analyses the EU's evolution as a counter-terrorism actor in different case studies, such as counter-terrorism in the transatlantic relationship, North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. Overall, this book highlights that the EU is, in fact, becoming a counter-terrorism actor of growing importance and with an ever-diversifying number of policy options available. Addressing topical matters, this book will be a key resource for scholars, researchers and students in fields such as European studies, international relations, political science and governance. It will also attract the attention of practitioners, politicians, non-governmental and civil society organisations"-- NO Literaturverzeichnis: Seite 138-175. - Index: Seite 176-179 SN 9781782548270 K1 Terrorism : European Union countries : Prevention K1 Internationaler Terrorismus K1 Terrorismus K1 Bekämpfung K1 Securitization K1 Internationale Organisation K1 Politik K1 Sicherheitspolitik K1 Staatensystem K1 Politisches Mandat K1 Entwicklung K1 Fallstudie
