Abstract:
In an intensified effort to curb terrorist activity in Europe, governments have instituted new policies and programs at local, national and transnational levels. These measures involve tightened border controls, greater internal security, increased intergovernmental co-operation and monitoring financial transactions as a means of restricting terrorist financing. This session will review these measures with particular attention on those issues where there is a perceived or real lapse in implementation. The session will identify the political, social, bureaucratic and legal dynamics that have hindered Europe's anti-terrorist measures, ranging from economic implications to the need to balance public security with civil liberties. Session participants will also provide perspectives from other countries dealing with the terrorist threat, including a critical analysis of the comparative effectiveness of "homeland security" in the United States.
