Between Panic and Recklessness: Responsible Handling of the Terrorist Threat. Experiences from Israel, France and Germany
How should public authorities deal with safety precautions? How much information can you share with citizens? How much information must you share? What role does the public play in the fight against terrorism? Are there sensible rules of conduct that should be made public? What role do the media play in this topic?

The Fine Line Between Security and Freedom: Experiences from Belgium, Israel, Germany, and the EU with the Instruments of Internal Security
How can a state manage safety and security and at the same time avoid establishing a surveillance-state? What instruments of state security have proven particularly effective and proportionate? To what extent may public life be limited in the face of acute threats? Are there any "lessons learned" from recent experiences (e.g. the 'Brussels lockdown')? Can and should cooperation between security agencies within and outside the EU be stepped up? What improvements in this regard are to be expected from the recently established Anti-Terrorism Centre on the European level?
