This compelling book critically examines how the EU has expanded its counter-terrorism remit to include aviation security in the twenty-first century. Briony Callander, Christian Kaunert and Sarah Leonard analyse the EU's increasing involvement in aviation security following the 9/11 attacks.
Callander, Kaunert and Leonard explore post-9/11 regulation and control of the formerly inter-governmental area of aviation security by supranational institutions with no prior involvement in the sector. They illustrate the highly technical and globally interlinked nature of the field, highlighting how this has resulted in EU policies affecting areas beyond the borders of EU member states. The book provides a comprehensive definition of aviation security, tracing its evolution before and since 9/11 and presenting cutting-edge research on how EU engagement in aviation security can be further developed and enhanced.
Scholars and students of European politics and policy, international relations, international security, terrorism and counter-terrorism, political geography and geopolitics will greatly benefit from this insightful book. It is also an essential resource for policymakers and practitioners in counter-terrorism, security and criminology, as well as those working in non-governmental and civil society organizations.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'The 9/11 attack significantly transformed transnational cooperation against aviation terrorism. Common standards, sound screening and robust intelligence systems are key requirements. Potentially, the EU is a formidable player in aviation security by addressing national discrepancies. Authored by top security scholars, this book fills a giant knowledge-gap among a wide audience.' -- Monica den Boer, the Netherlands Defence Academy and Leiden University, the Netherlands 'An essential and timely contribution. This book masterfully unpacks how the European Union transformed from a novice actor into a global leader in aviation security. Its legal precision, historical scope and institutional depth make it indispensable for scholars and practitioners working at the intersection of counter-terrorism, EU governance and global aviation policy.' -- Rut Bermejo-Casado, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain 'The European Union, Aviation Security and Counter-Terrorism is a well-researched and detailed analysis of an under-explored area of EU policymaking. This theoretically informed study enhances our understanding of how the EU is involved in what constitutes a critical component of our modern societies.' -- Javier Argomaniz, University of St. Andrews, UK
