Opis

The UK’s Response to Terrorist Communication analyses the potential impact on intelligence exchange between the EU and the UK, following the UK’s future exit. This is important as international cooperation is essential in combating the contemporary terrorist threat. Using the US as a case study, the book shows that UK laws must remain within the ambit of EU law and the CJEU’s jurisprudence, to maintain the effectiveness of the exchange. It addresses the topics with regard to terrorism and counterterrorism methods and will be of interest to researchers, academics, professionals, and students researching counterterrorism and digital electronic communications, international human rights, data protection, and international intelligence exchange.
