In the first few weeks after these incidents, the EU mobilised a complex but also incoherent set of policy measures, which significantly influenced the course of European security over the years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom a theoretical perspective, this volume argues that context-specific factors dominated over functionalist considerations in the EU's fight against terrorism. Building on frameworks from public policy analysis, the author demonstrates that EU institutions played a critical role as policy entrepreneurs, while the many security measures were chosen on the basis of timing rather than significance. Such short-term political dynamics also explain the implementation deficits and persistent imbalances in the EU's counterterrorism policy; limitations which still hinder its fight against international terrorism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of EU policy, counter-terrorism, European security, public administration, foreign policy, and IR in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raphael Bossong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415688574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415688574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Raphael Bossong","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086314156287,"sku":"9780415688574","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09c7f886-189a-4056-b010-8e8cbbc256f3.jpg?v=1769093974","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-evolution-of-eu-counter-terrorism-raphael-bossong-9780415688574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
