The shocking events of 11 September 2001 in the United States drew worldwide attention to the terrorist phenomenon. Confronting Terrorism focuses on terrorism and the struggle against it in Europe: on recent experiences, threat perceptions and the policies of several European countries, including the effects produced by the 11 September attacks.
Specialists from Ireland, the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Greece analyse the development of threat perceptions concerning terrorism and counter-terrorist policy-making in their respective countries. To facilitate comparisons between their findings, they have worked from an identical set of questions. Their chapters are followed by contributions on relevant policy-making and decisions in the European Union, and on the European input in United Nations policy-making processes. A summary of main conclusions and recommendations is also presented.

'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.'
