Table of ContentsReviews'This is a thought-provoking and exceptionally well-researched book. It is essential reading for anyone interested in terrorism or European security.' Richard J. Aldrich, University of Warwick 'With impressive command of both history and theory, Frank Foley addresses a critical but surprisingly neglected question: why would two major Western democracies facing similar threats of terrorism respond so differently? His original and persuasive explanation, based on an astute analysis of Britain and France, is that national counterterrorism policies are filtered through dense layers of norms, institutions, experiences, and routines that produce divergent outcomes.' Martha Crenshaw, Senior Fellow, Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC), Stanford University 'In his outstanding book, Frank Foley shows convincingly how and why different institutions, norms and routines made Britain and France respond so differently to a common threat. This is a major scholarly study in a field too often predisposed to quick policy analysis.' Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter, Jr Professor of International Studies, Cornell University 'This is a thought-provoking and exceptionally well-researched book.

Carpenter, Jr Professor of International Studies, Cornell University '(Foley) explains away dense and deadening legislation with a light touch, illuminating areas of contention with reference to popular cases. This makes an otherwise scholarly study readily accessible to a general audience.' The Spectator Online Advance praise: 'This is a thought-provoking and exceptionally well-researched book.

The Spectator Online 'Countering Terrorism [in Britain and France] is the product of extraordinarily high-quality scholarship. Outstanding interview material - though often unidentified, for ethical reasons - is blended with a tight theoretical frame to produce an account that is persuasive and powerful.'
