ABSTRACT

Somalis themselves. They suggest a ‘Somalia First’ approach and a long-term oriented political conflict resolution strategy.

Jörg Monar (2013) analyzes security governance in the field of EU counterterrorism. He finds that a specific EU governance framework for internal security has emerged despite the issue’s sensitivity. He alludes to common threat assessments, institutional structures, cooperation mechanisms, legal instruments and forms of external action. However, he also highlights the subsidiary role of the EU and the predominant role of member states as providers of security. Hence, he concludes that EU security governance in the counterterrorism realm basically remains an institutionalized form of cooperation between national governance frameworks.
