Transnational Terrorism, Security, and the Rule of Law (TTSRL)


TTSRL was a multi-faceted research project that aimed to help Europe better understand terrorism. The research was conducted between 2006 and 2009:

  • TTSRL published many research papers on transnational terrorism in Europe;

  • TTSRL published peer-reviewed journal articles on various research topics;

  • TTSRL framed the current nature of the threat of terrorism in the EU;

  • TTSRL generated insight into the various response options to terrorism;

  • TTSRL aimed to bridge the gap between the scientific approach to transnational terrorism and the practicality of various available counterterrorism options;

  • TTSRL focused on a broad range of terrorism related subjects, including radicalization, societal order, the relation with the media, counterterrorism, theoretical background and academic discourse as well as practical case studies;

  • TTSRL combined the knowledge and experience of highly dedicated researchers at six research institutions from four EU member states, collaborating in a consortium.

  • The TTSRL-project is divided into several Workpackages and Deliverables each discussing different aspects of terrorism in Europe. For an overview of these and a workplanning, please click here.

  • TTSRL constitutes a research project in the scope of the 6th Framework Program of the EU, and is financed by the European Commission .

This internet website will introduce you to the background of our project, and allow you to download several publications on transnational terrorism in Europe. If any questions remain, feel free to contact us.
