Log-in for full text

This chapter shows how member states and European Union (EU) institutions participate in a collective securitisation process of preventive counter-terrorism policies in Europe. The chapter outlines the composite nature of agency in the EU as it implements counter-terrorism measures. It examines the securitising move and audience response dynamics between EU institutions and member states. This chapter combines secondary literature, policy analysis, and novel interview materials to outline the roles and phases in the collective securitisation process of Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (P/CVE) policies, which constitute a relatively new counter-terrorism approach in the EU. This chapter takes into consideration both the priorities of the member states as well as external discursive conditions that facilitate a process of securitisation. It therefore delineates the various scales – transnational, national, institutional – at which preventive counter-terrorism functions, and brings out the various agents involved in the functioning of counter-terrorism.
