'Hager Ben Jaffel offers an important and original analysis of the interface between the fields of security expertise and politics. At the same time as providing an excellent historical examination of the extensive, changing but often-overlooked relationships between British intelligence and policing agencies and their European partners, she also offers a unique insight into how ministers and parliamentarians receive and negotiate the expertise of security professionals, how they reconcile this with political imperatives, and what the effects are on policy outcomes.'--Andrew Neal, University of Edinburgh, UK 'The book provides a timely and original analysis of the development of anti-terrorism intelligence co-operation. It is essential reading for academics, students, practitioners and policy makers interested in counter-terrorism, security and intelligence and provides important insights for the future of UK-EU relations in these fields.'--Valsamis Mitsilegas, Queen Mary University of London, UK 'Hager Ben Jaffel has done Intelligence Studies a service by upending the usual political analysis of UK/European intelligence cooperation in an age of Brexit. By focussing through a sociological lens on the often underestimated anti-terror law enforcement liaison that happens in Europe on a daily basis the book illuminates the patterns of cooperation that have developed between police services. The underlying message is that there is no necessary conflict between the fundamental UK/US intelligence partnership and the practical exercise of effective counter-terrorism with our European partners.'-Sir David Omand, King's College London, UK
