What is Europe doing about terrorism

(B2) In the fight against terrorism, Europe has no direct powers of action. But it has made it possible to establish a common legislative framework, tools for cooperation (police, justice), finally exchanges of information and increasingly intense political discussions to the point that today we can speak of European policy. of combating terrorism.

The work which has just appeared written by two officers of the French Gendarmerie, Grégoire Demezon and Franck Peinaud, therefore arrives at the right time. It presents in a synthetic, and didactic way, the European public policy of fight against terrorism, the content of which is scattered in the official European documents. A very useful tool for anyone interested in European security issues.
