Though Britain and France have faced a similar threat from Islamist terrorism in the years following September 11 2001, they have often responded in different ways to the challenges it posed. This groundbreaking work offers the first in-depth comparative analysis of counterterrorist policies and operations in these two leading liberal democracies. Challenging the widely held view that the nature of a state's counterterrorist policies depends on the threat it is facing, Foley suggests that such an argument fails to explain why France has mounted more invasive police and intelligence operations against Islamist terrorism than Britain and created a more draconian anti-terrorist legal regime. Drawing on institutional and constructivist theories, he develops a novel theoretical framework that puts counterterrorism in its organisational, institutional and broader societal context. With particular appeal to students and specialists of International Relations and Security Studies, this book will engage readers in the central debates surrounding anti-terrorist policy.

Humanitarian professionals are on the front lines of today's internal armed conflicts, negotiating access through physical and diplomatic roadblocks to reach imperiled civilians. They frequent the corridors of power, interceding with politicians and diplomats in countries wracked by violence, in capitals of donor governments that underwrite humanitarian work, and at the United Nations Security Council. They provide the media with authoritative and catalytic information about situations of humanitarian extremity.

With the end of the Cold War, the international environments changed dramatically with consequences also for development co-operation and North-South relations in general. However, the impact varied from one donor country to another. The policies of most European governments became less affected than those of the remaining superpower. This volume takes stock of such changes into the new millennium. It starts with an extensive overview and analysis of the changes that have taken place in the international environments and development thinking in the past decade, drawing the lines further back, and identifying the main features of the new international development agenda. The country studies focus on continuity and change in the aid policy of individual European donor countries, with an emphasis on overall objectives set for aid and norms guiding its distribution geographically and on purposes. The performance is also scrutinized. This volume, unique in its kind, includes studies of the European countries such as Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain. The contributors are specialists within their respective countries. It concludes with a scrutiny of the policy of the European Union.
