Confronting Terrorism European Experiences, Threat Perceptions and Policies

' This reader, edited by Marianne van Leeuwen, is the end result of a Netherlands Institute for International Relations project on European approaches to terrorism. It is perhaps the most comprehensive European terrorism reader currently on the market. In the conclusion, Marianne van Leeuwen argues that past experiences with domestic terrorism have shaped current policy priorities in the respective countries under scrutiny. The attacks of 11 September [2001] have changed threat perceptions in Europe towards terrorism considerably. A real and present danger from terrorism is felt by the elite and mass alike across the states surveyed. There is greater need for international cooperation to defeat international terrorism. '
