The War on Terror has left Afghanistan without a viable centralized intelligence agency. Thousands of bloodstained and heartbreaking stories in newspapers, journals and books document the failures of the KHAD and NDS. The government and military are both crippled by the "bad intel" due to lack of mutual trust and limited information sharing.

This book examines how interprofessional collaboration and service user participation are challenged in multi-agency meetings, demonstrating how collaborative and integrated welfare policy is contingent on the interactional practices of professionals and service users, and providing examples of best practice.

The design of democratic institutions includes a variety of barriers to protect against the tyranny of the majority, including international human rights, cultural minority rights, and multiculturalism. In the twenty-first century, majorities have re-asserted themselves, sometimes reasonably, referring to social cohesion and national identity, at other times in the form of populist movements challenging core foundations of liberal democracy. This volume intervenes in this debate by examining the legitimacy of conflicting majority and minority claims. Are majorities a legal concept, holding rights and subject to limitations? How can we define a sense of nationhood that brings groups together rather than tears them apart? In this volume, world-leading experts are brought together for the first time to debate the rights of both majorities and minorities. The outcome is a fascinating exchange on one of the greatest challenges facing liberal democracies today.

Collaboration among public agencies, across different governmental levels, and/or with the private and civic sectors and the public is increasingly called on to handle the complex, multi-jurisdictional challenges we face in the 21st century. Experiments in collaborative public management, multi-partner governance, joined-up or network government, hybrid sectoral arrangements, co-management regimes, participatory governance, and civic engagement have evolved, and in some cases, transformed the way the public's business is getting done. The growth of these innovative collaborative governance systems has outpaced scholarship. While the academic literature has spawned numerous case studies and context- or policy-specific models for collaboration, there have been few efforts to integrate extant knowledge into a framework that is broadly applicable for both research and practice and across sectors, settings, and scales. This book seeks to fill that gap.

After the 9/11 attacks, a large number of countries have undertaken programmes to bring together all relevant information in the fight against terrorism, in order to be able to produce integrated threat assessments. Some of these initiatives have even included the establishment of new structures, often referred to as ‘fusion centres’. At the end of 2006, such a fusion centre was also set up in Belgium: the Coordination Unit for Threat Assessment. In this book – that contains an introduction by Gilles de Kerchove, the EU Counter-Terrorism Coordinator and a concluding chapter by professor Peter Gill – the Belgian Standing Committee I collects contributions from European countries that have created a similar body or that have attributed the ‘all-source threat assessment’ assignment to an existing body. Besides the EU Joint Situation Centre, no fewer than 19 EU member states participated. The result paints a specific and valuable picture and gives a unique insight into the way integrated analyses are produced, not in the least because all contributions were written by people from within the fusion centres; not by outsiders. All chapters cover topics as the country’s intelligence and security landscape in the fight against terrorism, the drawing-up and dissemination of threat assessments, the legal framework, the organisation, resources, management and authority of the body or structure, internal and external review of the activities… The resulting overall picture is perhaps best described as a kaleidoscopic vision. Some member states set up a new body; others used existing services. Sometimes, the methodology is highly formalised; others use informal arrangements and work through consultation forums. For some services threat assessment is their core business, for others just one aspect of their operations. Some services only carry out ad hoc analyses, some only strategic analyses, and some do both. In some countries, the integrated threat assessment assignment has been entrusted to several services at the same time, while other countries have clearly assigned the task to a single service. To give structure to this profusion of information, Prof. Peter Gill, Honorary Fellow of the University of Liverpool and an authority in the field of intelligence studies, wrote the concluding chapter. This book provides a comprehensive picture on which all countries can draw in order to write more accurate, reliable and timely threat assessments for policymakers or for operational services.
