englischSince the attacks of September 11, 2001 a complex web of international structures and rules for the fight against transnational terrorism has emerged. However, previous research, so far, disregarded the organizational basis of counterterrorism cooperation. Using the example of bureaucratic actors in the United Nations and the European Union, this study examines how and to which degree international counterterrorism bureaucracies exercise autonomy and perform distinct functions. The examination reveals the special ambivalence of counterterrorism cooperation for international bureaucracies, which need to reconcile calls for effective counterterrorism with the need to maintain an impression of technical impartiality in a particularly contested policy-field. They respond to this challenge with different strategies of politicization and depoliticization.

&raquoein empirisch detailreiches wie theoretisch innovatives Buch... hat der Autor eine innovative, grundsätzlich für alle IOs anwendbare Theorie zur Untersuchung ihrer Autonomie entwickelt... Der Verfasser zeigt, dass ein analytischer Eklektizismus zielführend und gewinnbringend sein kann.&laquo
