Using four Western democracies as case studies, Hellmuth measures effects of government structures on counterterrorism decision-making processes and outcomes. In doing so, she examines how similar or different the responses have been in four parliamentary and presidential systems, and clears up common misperceptions about domestic counterterrorism efforts on both sides of the Atlantic. Each of Hellmuth's four case studies reviews the official constitutional powers and informal relationships between executive and legislative branches, outlines decision-making processes leading to counterterrorism policies and reforms since 9/11, and summarizes how structural factors influenced those processes. By measuring and comparing structural effects, and by going beyond the common U.S. and British focus to include counterterrorism decision-making in Germany and France, Hellmuth shows that there are important similarities between those governments designed to constrain executive power (Germany and the United States) and those that facilitate executive power (France and Great Britain). Her analysis further demonstrates that in presidential systems executive and legislative branches have incentives to produce a steady stream of reforms, that presidents have more opportunities than leaders of parliamentary systems to expand their unilateral powers during times of crisis, and that choices designed to strengthen presidential positions influence the direction, nature, and scope of institutional reform. Understanding the nature, scope, and trends of national decision-making processes in Western democracies, Hellmuth contends, is imperative to identifying new mechanisms for containing transnational terrorist networks beyond national borders. 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention$zUnited States$xDecision making 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention$zGermany$xDecision making 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention$zGreat Britain$xDecision making 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention$zFrance$xDecision making 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention$xLaw and legislation$zGermany 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention$xLaw and legislation$zGreat Britain 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention$xLaw and legislation$zFrance 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention$xLaw and legislation 606 $aComparative government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention$xDecision making. 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention$xDecision making. 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention$xDecision making. 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention$xDecision making. 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aComparative government. 676 $a363.325/16 700 $aHellmuth$b Dorle$01034320 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466897803321 996 $aCounterterrorism and the state$92453366 997 $aUNINA
