“…Both epistemic community and governments in the EU has recognized the complexity of responding to an entanglement between migration and terrorism in the midst of a strong nationalist wave that leans towards anti-immigrant voices. On the other hand, they also have learnt that Southeast Asian states still lack the capacity to conduct deradicalization and social reintegration of foreign fighters (Bos, van Ginkel and Mehra, 2018).…”

This research examines the inter-regional security cooperation between ASEAN and the EU with a specific focus on counterterrorism. The research methods are based on a comparison of regional counterterrorism governance between the two regions and a close reading of Plan of Actions for the enhancement of ASEAN-EU relations documents from 2007 to 2018. The results show that CT cooperation is about facilitating a more comprehensive security governance cooperation where European standards and experience are transferred to Southeast Asia for purposes of regional security and diplomatic relations. In addition, this research also shows that EU-ASEAN CT cooperation has not been geared specifically to combat radicalism, or as part of a Counter Violent Extremism program; rather, the inter-regional cooperation has mainly focused on building a common normative framework in responding to terrorism within the corridor of democracy and preempting the terrorist networks from exploiting connectivity networks. Finally, implementation of security and political cooperation between the EU and ASEAN tend to rely on the existing extra-regional dialogue fora within ASEAN as well as direct engagement between the EU and third parties comprising each of the ASEAN states.

“…Going even further back into the past, France has been leaning on a state warning system called Plan Vigipirate since 1978. 3 The system was designed as an answer to a wave of attacks by left-wing terrorist groups, and has had several updates since its creation. The plan connects all the national actors (the state, local government, public and private operators, and citizens).…”

Povzetek V analizi smo želeli prikazati, ali so tuji borci resnično nevarni za evropsko varnost, saj vemo, da je morebitna grožnja vedno mogoča. Do zdaj je bilo zelo težko oceniti grožnjo vrnitve tujih borcev. V raziskavo smo vključili dve državi, v katerih so napade izvedli tuji borci, ki so se vrnili v državo. Vključeni državi sta bili Belgija in Francija. V raziskavi smo primerjali politiko posameznih držav s skupno zunanjo in varnostno politiko EU. Ugotavljali smo, kako se te države spoprijemajo z vrnitvijo tujih borcev in kateri ukrepi so bili glede tega sprejeti. Poleg tega smo poskušali oceniti, ali so bolj osredotočeni na pregon tujih borcev, ki se vračajo, ali je njihov poudarek na programih deradikalizacije in reintegracije. Ključne besede Tuji borci, terorizem, Islamska država, EU, zakonodaja. Abstract This analysis will consider whether foreign fighters pose a real danger to European security, knowing that the potential threat is always possible. Up to now, assessing the threat of returning foreign fighters has been very difficult. In this article we have attempted to analyze the attacks that have been carried out by returning foreign fighters in Belgium and France. Our research compared the politics of individual countries with the common foreign and security policy of the EU. We have investigated how these countries are dealing with the return of foreign fighters and what measures have been taken in this regard. In addition, we have tried to evaluate whether they are more focused on the prosecution of returning foreign fighters or whether their focus is connected with deradicalization and reintegration programmes. Key words Foreign fighters, terrorism, Islamic state, EU, legislation.

“…Universities and other scholars believe that it is necessary and expected to give further priority to improving international information sharing, including special attention to biometrics, and thereby helping identify potential terrorists such as the FTF (returned) [16]. To this end, China, using passports & visas, can generate a "database on personnel restricted for the entry" based on the evaluation of the outbound personnel database established by the comprehensive collection of biometric information such as three-dimensional portraits, irises, fingerprints and DNA.…”

Chinese terrorists have engaged in terrorist activities in Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, other countries, and regions around China since a long time, which is becoming increasingly fierce after the civil war in Syria in 2011. The study mainly discusses the countermeasures from the perspectives of the political opportunity structure, frame narrative, and resource mobilization based on social movement theoretical research. The countermeasures include: to establish a new international political order, improve the governance capability of all countries; strengthen ideological education, and to establish and propagate antiterrorism frame narrative; to intensify intelligence work based on the big data to enhance the capabilities of forecasting, prewarning and prevention; to improve international law enforcement cooperation promoting overseas counterterrorism action capability; to create a prevention and control network to control the returning of flight personnel, preventing the terrorism risk at home and abroad.
