Terrorism
International security focuses on the development of world
war 2 and through the cold war period as events in Latin
America, USA, Britain and other parts of Europe excluding
Greece and Spain. In the post cold war period the focus is on
the 9/11 2001 attacks on the twin tower in USA, London bus
bombing which proceeded the Spanish railway
attack,14January 2015 Paris bombing and the recent events in
Belgium . It should be noted that is was only after the 9/11 that
the counter-terrorism unit idea came to reality, after the notion
in the late 90s.

Multiculturalism also aids, since it open doors for people (
future terrorism spots ). Counter-terrorism units must
monitor mostly refugee camps, boundaries and asylum
