Abstract

The question of convergence in security regulations among Western liberal democracies — regarding its desirability, feasibility, and reality — has featured prominently since the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Given globalization and the interdependencies it creates, as well as the heightened and unique threats it engenders (Furlong, 1981, p. 77; Epifanio, 2011, p. 400), most experts now see convergence as desirable and necessary if the protecting state is to fulfill its function (United Nations, 2004; Rees and Aldrich, 2005, p. 923; Sandler and Siqueira, 2009, pp. 175–6; Wheeler, 2011). Convergence keeps transaction costs down, allows economies of scale, and can facilitate a comprehensive, gap-free counterterrorism architecture even in the global multilevel system (in part see Cortell and Davis, 2000, pp. 65–6).
