Final Report Summary - SEC POL TRANSFER (Successful Security Policy Transfer - How and When? A Comparative Study of EU, British and US Policy Transfer to Greece on Terrorism and Organised Crime)
Over the course of the research, a range of contacts and collaborations were established with researchers and practitioners working on related subjects, and efforts were made to disseminate research findings to audiences across disciplines and beyond academia. Indicative of this active engagement, research papers were presented over the course of the project at the following forums: the Research Seminar at the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP), Athens, Greece; the annual conferences of the Modern Greek Studies Association, the British International Studies Association, the Political Science Association, the British Society of Criminology, the European Society of Criminology, and the International Studies Association. Invited presentations were given at the annual conference of the European Society of Criminology in Vilnius, Lithuania, and at the Department of Sociology at Panteion University, Athens, Greece. Invitations to present research were also received from St. Antony’s College at the University of Oxford, UK, and from the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa, Italy. In addition, invited commentary was repeatedly contributed to international media coverage of Greek political developments over the course of the project via radio, television and press, by outlets including BBC News, BBC Newsnight, BBC World Service Newshour, Al Jazeera, and Politiken. Expertise gained during the project also led to invitations to act as a reviewer academic and civil society publications, including for the Working Paper Series of the Greek Politics Specialist Group of the UK Political Studies Association, and for the annual ‘Global Corruption Report’ of the non-governmental organisation Transparency International. Security practitioners from the UK and Greece in the field of policing have also requested to be notified about publications stemming from the project.
