“…is left with just some strategic decisionmaking powers, since tactical and operational powers remain within national domains, due to both practical (efficiency and goal achievement) and symbolic (preservation of national security and defence identities) reasons. 68 Basically, counter-terrorism intelligence remains and is performed predominantly at the national level, 69 since it "falls under the mandate of national secret intelligence services." 70 Thus, the contours of the UK CONTEST strategy will now be outlined.…”

Policing Strategies against Islamic Terrorism in the UK after 9/11: The Socio-Political Realities for British Muslims

This paper explores the socio-political dimensions of the strategies that have been employed in the UK against Islamic terrorism following the attacks of 9/11/2001 in the United States. The role that Muslims, as a suspect population, play must be contextualized within the socio-political framework of late modernity. This framework will be posited as a driver behind the increased isolation, exclusion and embitterment of Muslim communities in the UK. One of the main arguments proposed is a prompt for governments and counterterrorism forces to: address the drivers and ideological grounds on which radicalisation and terrorism pose a threat; tackle the socio-political grievances experienced by Muslims; and partner with and empower Muslim communities. The British multi-pronged counter-terrorism strategy will be explored in order to demonstrate that some soft measures aimed at deradicalising vulnerable individuals, marginalising extremists, removing the human capital and support for terrorist organisations and improving both the dialogue with and the integration of Muslim communities within wider society should be among the top priorities. Such measures would be essential in order to achieve durable results in fighting Islamic terrorism at the grassroots level. In following such an approach, Britain will also have to face the challenges posed by both plural Muslim identities and communities and the differing Islamic and Western values and aim at achieving full social integration of Muslims within the wider society.

“…Before discussing the role of information in foreign policy, it is important to provide some clarity on the terminology. This article focuses primarily on the processes of gathering and processing information, both of which have the aim of reducing the uncertainty of policy-makers when making and executing decisions regarding foreign policy (Warner 2002;Walsh 2006;Müller-Wille 2008). In this context it is important to note the following.…”

“…Although the EU has enjoyed a Counter‐Terrorism Co‐ordinator in the form of Gijs de Vries and, since 2007, Gilles de Kerchove, they are marginal figures. Europe lacks an obvious point of contact for US Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Chertoff (Müller‐Wille 2008). Equally, European services might respond that liaising with the American behemoth is also a challenge, with its 18 intelligence agencies.…”

US–European Intelligence Co-Operation on Counter-Terrorism: Low Politics and Compulsion

Since 9/11, intelligence has been viewed as an integral part of a controversial 'war on terror'. The acrimonious public arguments over subjects such as Iraqi WMD assessments, secret prisons and the interrogation of detainees suggest intense transatlantic discord. Yet improbably, some of those countries that have expressed strident disagreement in public are privately the closest intelligence partners. It is argued here that we can explain this seeming paradox by viewing intelligence co-operation as a rather specialist kind of 'low politics' that is focused on practical arrangements. Intelligence is also a fissiparous activity, allowing countries to work together in one area even while they disagree about something else. Meanwhile, the pressing need to deal with a range of increasingly elusive transnational opponents-including organised crime-compels intelligence agencies to work more closely together, despite their instinctive dislike of multilateral sharing. Therefore, transatlantic intelligence co-operation will continue to deepen, despite the complex problems that it entails.
