Chair: Dr Aviva Guttman, Research Fellow in Intelligence and International Security
Speaker: Dr. Hager Ben Jaffel, research associate, National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), Paris.
This is a Women's Intelligence Network (WIN) Brown Bag Lunch Series event
This book talk will present key findings from her monograph entitled Anglo-European Intelligence Cooperation: Britain in Europe, Europe in Britain (Routledge, 2019) which investigates intelligence cooperation between Britain and its continental partners in the field of counter-terrorism intelligence.
To uncover Britain’s European connection in intelligence relations, this talk will address intelligence cooperation from a practical and human dimension by discussing the everyday bureaucratic practices of UK police representatives based in Europe. It will then discuss the recent moves of British services in the context of the ‘Brexit’ negotiations and provide insights into the process through which elements of European security and intelligence cooperation have been maintained or rejected.
