Borderless Interventionism
International humanitarian interventions are intended to alleviate extensive human suffering within the defined and internationally recognized borders of a sovereign state. According to international norms, each state has a clear responsibility to respond to disasters that occur within its borders. However, humanitarian interventions, such as that following dam collapses in Derna (Libya) in September 2023, the case analyzed in this paper, are inc…
Transnational counterterrorism assemblages
This article explores how the threat of terrorism has been addressed at the policy level by offering a finegrained analysis of a specific preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) project implemented in Mali between 2018 and 2021 by a composite mix of international and national practitioners.Despite the current and almost complete detachment from the international and European security community, Mali has been, for a long time, a critic…
Reaching for allies? The dialectics and overlaps between international relations and area studies in the study of politics, security and conflicts
This article sets the scene for the Special Issue ‘Reaching for allies?’ by setting out the research questions and structure of the Special Issue. Specifically, this introduction reviews the state of the art of dialectics interweaving International Relations and Area Studies. Specifically, it focuses on tracing the genealogy of these debates, identifying the actors engaged with them, as well as, mapping those sites where such transdisciplinary kn…
European transnationalism between successes and shortcomings
This article introduces the Special Issue ‘European transnationalism between successes and shortcomings: Threats, strategies and actors under the microscope’. Specifically, it focuses on transnationalism in terms of a key concept to be deployed while seeking to decode and evaluate EU political and legal governance-related choices, and particularly those made to address cross-border security threats. In doing so, it first explains the choice of ‘t…
Patchwork of Counterterrorism
The overlapping of a series of events in the region has brought the Sahel under the spotlight of many European countries. It has been argued that the peculiar transnational nature of many terrorist groups of the area represents a concrete threat to European security. France, specifically, has led and encouraged a series of European initiatives, which aim to stabilize the region, calling for different degrees of counterterrorism cooperation with i…
Cultures of Counterterrorism
This book investigates counterterrorism responses from a strategic-culturalist perspective, focusing on France and Italy in the post-9/11 era. Terrorism occupies a predominant space within contemporary political debate across all European countries. Recent attacks in Europe have raised many questions about the status of counterterrorism structures within European countries, revealing a wide range of practical as well as discursive security implic…
From BR to Isis. The Italian domestic and international response to terrorism
Italy is currently one of the front-actors involved in the fight against international terrorist organisations such as ISIS, and one with the most solid and advanced anti-terrorism legislative structure among European countries. However, in the existing literature studies on the post 9/11 Italian response to terrorism are almost completely missing. This paper addresses this gap by detailing the Italian domestic and international decisions to figh…
Does rentierism have a conditional effect on violence? Regime oil dependency and civil war in Algeria
Terrorists going transnational
This study moves beyond theories emphasising “state failure” as the cause for terrorist “spill-over”. The aim is to offer new theoretical and empirical considerations concerning the determinants of terrorist groups’ geographical strategies. The main argument this article presents is that transnationality for nationalistic terrorist organisations can be costly. This is the case due to the mobility, social and strategic costs of operating beyond co…
