Transnational Terrorism, Security and the Rule of Law
The Transnational Terrorism, Security and the Rule of Law (TTSRL) project is aimed at framing the current nature of the threat of terrorism as it exists within the EU, and at generating insight into the various response options to terrorism that are available to European governments.
The research is conducted by a consortium made up of six research institutions from four member states of the European Union, which allows the institutions not only to combine their broad range of knowledge and expertise but also to approach the issues at hand from varying European perspectives.
The research bridges the gap between the general scientific approach to terrorism and insight into the effectiveness of the various available response options. It focuses on a broad range of topics, including the development of the European security-discourse as a consequence of contemporary terrorism, terrorism’s broader societal consequences such as radicalisation, its effects on civil order, as well as the way in which these issues are framed and affected by the media.
The outcome of the efforts will thus be a better understanding of the issues at hand, as well as recommendations as to solutions to some of the most pressing policy issues arising from the threat of terrorism in the EU.
