It was not until the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks to the twin towers in New York and Pentagon in Washington that NATO was concerned about terrorism as a threat to the security of the Alliance. No matter how agile the response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks was, NATO has confronted a lot of gaps to work on defense against terrorism (DAT). Since then, starting with the 2002 Prague Summit, NATO has taken important steps to transform itself to adapt to the new security environment as well as establishing a DAT policy. Although important gains have been made towards setting a vision, implementing such vision has a considerable way to go, let alone achieve success. Within this framework, the article seeks to explain the evolution of NATO's stance towards terrorism in the post-Cold War era, the milestones in the development of NATO's DAT policy, its military concept for DAT and its operations and joint efforts related to DAT.

Intelligence Cooperation in the European Union: An Impossible Dream? Bilgi, Şeniz (2016-01-01) There has been a shift in the intelligence and security strategies of the states since 9/11.

Not only have the responsibilities and tasks of intelligence agencies become more important, but the necessity for intelligence and security service cooperation among nations has also increased. Accordingly, intelligence agencies had to update their strategies to put more emphasis on collaboration. This article ...

SURVEILLANCE IN GERMANY AFTER 9/11 The case of immigrants from Turkey Topal, Çağatay (2008-01-01) After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, surveillance pressure on immigrants increased considerably. The trend was the globalization of surveillance of the world population but especially of immigrants. 9/11 was not a turning point, however, since surveillance was already headed towards being globalized. The post-9/11 context accelerated this process. The economic and political developments that have taken place after 9/11 demonstrate that the processes of globalization, immigration and surveillan...

Is there any security preference for Turkey between the Eu and U.S.? Ünal, Kemal; Bağcı, Hüseyin; Department of European Studies (2005) The recent global security challenges such as terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction etc. have altered the security perceptions of the countries. For opposing those new security threats the U.S. and the EU generated their own security discourses. Accordingly, they tackle the issues with diverging perceptions. This diversion paves the way for a debate between two sides. In the mean time, Turkey has established her security architecture in accordance with the Western international community. ...
