Rezensionen

'A systematic, thorough, insightful and highly knowledgeable analysis of counterterrorism policies in Belgium. Set against the background of the overall evolution of CT policies in the West, it is a major building stone for comparative analyses on counterterrorism policies. Food for thought for the theoretical and conceptual development of this underdeveloped academic discipline.'-- Rik Coolsaet, Ghent University, Belgium

'Dr. Renard's book sketches the evolution of counter-terrorism since 9/11 from a Belgian and European perspective, showing how policy-makers have, in the course of two decades, tried to deal with a so-called 'wicked problem', that is one that cannot be fixed with simple solutions due to its social and political complexity. His study is a welcome stepping stone towards a theory of counter-terrorism policy-making - something that has been lacking so far.'--Alex P. Schmid, Editor-in-Chief, 'Perspectives on Terrorism'

'People often speak of the so-called War on Terror as if there was just one. What Thomas Renard shows brilliantly in this book is how responses to terrorism have changed over the years, often adopting to the changing nature of the challenge itself. His principal case study, Belgium, is so valuable not just because it has been understudied, but also because it is a microcosm of all the key trends and developments in terrorism that have affected Western states over the past two decades. This is a great book which scholars and students will equally appreciate!'-- Peter R. Neumann, King's College London, UK

'Both an instructive case study of the post-2001 Belgian experience and a significant step toward the construction of a general field of counterterrorism studies, this valuable book links public policy theory to in-depth primary research involving numerous interviews with practitioners.'-- Martha Crenshaw, Stanford University, USA
